I am creating a game in java swing, i have a loading gif i want to play while loading. This is the code i have:

URL path = ClassLoader.getSystemResource("loading.gif");
Image gif = new ImageIcon(path).getImage();
JLabel loadingGif = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(gif.getScaledInstance(200, 200, Image.SCALE_DEFAULT)));
loadingGif.setLocation(something, something);

window.getContentPane().add(loadingGif);
window.setComponentZOrder(loadingGif, 0);
window.repaint();

The issue is that if insted of loading.gif in the url i have a something_else.png it all works fine, if instead i have a gif, it flickers.
Any ideas on how to fix that?

I'm sure weirded out that the effect exists with some image format and not with another.
Would your gif happen to have some transparent background and your png not?
