check out "changing the position of a component" in the "comp.lang.java.gui"
group.  i just posted a possible solution (if you had the same problem as i
did), and it should appear sometime soon.

basically, you should subclass whatever object/component you want to
"animate" and make it implement the Runnable interface.  in the run() method,
loop your setLocation calls (or setBounds or whatever), and then call
"Thread.currentThread().sleep(howLongMillisecs)".  this thread will ensure
that the setLocation is complete before it is called again (rather than rely
on the thread of the object that made the call.

there are some other issues that you should be aware of..  i explain them in
my post..

ok, let me know how this goes...
