[java] Java is looping my applet?

I''ve just started with Java, though I''ve been coding C/C++ for about 2 years and java-script for about 5, so I am very familiar with the syntax. I wrote this simple applet the other day, and it did something completely unexpected (or atleast I didn''t expect it)

public JavaAp3 extends Applet { public paint(Graphics g) { int x,n,m; Image img; img=getImage(getCodeBase(),"knight.gif"); x=(int)(Math.random*25); while(x>=0){ n=(int)(Math.random*200); m=(int)(Math.random*200); g.drawImage(img,n,m,this); x--; } } }

Now, I thought this would run once and I would have a random number of knights at random locations on the screen. But instead, it continues to rerun the applet over and over again, so that I have a random number of knights constantly blinking on the screen over and over again. Can I make it stop? How can I take advantage of this? Is there a faster way of putting stuff on screen (this is almost as slow as java-script)? Are you even trying to be intelligent? ''cuz if you are, it ain''t workin'' Down with Tiberia!
