Creating a simple splash screen

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to create a simple splash screen with maybe a button. When this is pressed, the next thing shown in the application window should be the cylinder with my picture of Arizona on it.
Can anyone help?
Also trying to place a new image onto the cylinder shape when the Open button is pressed in the FileChooser dialog box.
Could someone help with this problem, I'm not sure what else is required.
Thanks.

Yeah I thought JWindow should be used, but it's getting it into my project that is the real problem.
