Canvas problem on a s60 device

Question

Hi i am having a problem displaying a canvas on top of the previous canvas that was displayed. basicly i have tow canvas, one is a full screen canvas and the otehr is simply a rectangle box witha txt inside...
on the default colour phone emulator i can display both canvas on screen at the same time but on the s60 device it just displays the 2nd canvas with a white background?
here is the code for the 2nd canvas under the paintFrame method
public void paint(Graphics g)
        try
//             g.drawImage(bg,0,0,Graphics.TOP|Graphics.LEFT);
//             g.drawImage(load[counter],midx,midy,Graphics.VCENTER|Graphics.HCENTER);
            int midy = getHeight() / 2;
            g.setColor(49,65,143);
            g.fillRect(5,midy+15,230, 36);
            g.setColor(255,255,255);
            g.drawString("Connecting to the server. Please wait.", 40,midy+8+15,Graphics.TOP | Graphics.LEFT);
            g.drawImage(load[counter],18,midy+8+19,Graphics.VCENTER|Graphics.HCENTER);
        catch(Exception e)
                e.printStackTrace();
                Alert alert = new Alert("error");
                alert.setString("counter is " + counter);
                alert.setTimeout(alert.FOREVER);
                Display.getDisplay(root).setCurrent(alert);
    }All the canvas's are in Threads. i simply call display object to set this canvas has the corrent display.

Ok is it possible to create a thread within a Thread class?i am trying to create a loading screen. At first, i displayed the loadings creen on full screen mode, but the idea was changed by the designer so now i have to display a small loading screen animation whilst the user can still see the previous screen. Similar to a Alert screen.
i have two sultions:
as explained above, create another thread from within this thread class.
Or create an alert screen(Tried this with a gauge and diddnt work properly)
Which solutution is better or can you find a better solution? cheers
