[JAVA2D] MemoryImageSource flickers when I update pixels with newPixels()...

[Ken Warner]

I'm haveing a strange problem -- I've used MemoryImageSource before with
great success.  But now, doing the same thing I've done before in Java 1.4
I'm getting flickering on newPixels() in Java 1.5...

That is, when I send new pixels to my MemoryImageSource mis and repaint() the 
image flickers badly.  Didn't do this in 1.4.

The odd thing is that --

while((status = bg.drawImage(canvasImage,0,0,thisW, thisH,this)) == false);

never breaks because bg.drawImage never returns true.  Do I have to use a 
MediaTracker
or something???

Here's what I'm doing -- I've tried it using BufferStrategy and get the same 
flicker

  //this is an AWT Canvas
  private Image canvasImage = null;
  private Image buffer = null;
  private Graphics2D bg = null;
  private MemoryImageSource mis = null;
  private ColorModel cm = null;
  init()
  {
      thisW = this.getWidth();
      thisH = this.getHeight();
      mis = new MemoryImageSource(thisW,thisH,pixels,0,thisW);
      mis.setAnimated(true);
      mis.setFullBufferUpdates(true);
      canvasImage = this.createImage(mis);
      buffer = this.createImage(thisW, thisH);
      bg = (Graphics2D)buffer.getGraphics();
   }

  public void paint(Graphics g)
  {
      g.drawImage(buffer,0,0,thisW, thisH,this);
  }
     public void newPixels(int [] newPixels)
  {
      mis.newPixels(newPixels, ColorModel.getRGBdefault(),0, thisW);
      boolean status = false;
      //while((status = bg.drawImage(canvasImage,0,0,thisW, thisH,this)) == 
false);
      bg.drawImage(canvasImage,0,0,thisW, thisH,this);
      this.repaint();
  }
