Painted Shapes are Flashy and Jumpy when Repainting?

I m开发者_开发技巧ade an Applet that paints shapes in the Windows, then each frame, I make them go down to simulate Basic Gravity but the shape flashes alot ( Which is unwanted ) And I couldn't find a way to make it Smooth. I don't mind slight lag for Smooth Graphics.
