Ok let's say you have drawn a line now let's say that some method has reclucated 2 points and now you must update it. what you have to do is just call repaint method and it will repaint the screen and if you are drawing your line in paint method the coord will be new for the position.
2. I guess it depends on what editor you are using , Kawa , JBuilder they support that. I use TextPad the help to docs is not available to me though it , i think. So i just have a reference to their site.
3. To play a video please refer to this link it might have what you are asking for. http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/LiveData.html

You can open a MSWord document in a different window using this:

<font size=2.5>
import java.io.*;
class WordTest{ 
   public static void main(String args[]){ 
           try{
                  Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office\\WINWORD.EXE c:\\Data\\test.doc");
           }
            catch (IOException e){
         System.out.println("IOException");
      }
   }
}
