thanks for the reply sabre150...
did you mean i must create a new object inside that frame (like JPanel), instead of painting the frame itself?, Yes.
but how if you want to put picture or even painting the object itself?I don't really understand. Do as you have in your current code but do it in the paintComponet method of a JPanel and set the JPanel as the 'content pane' of your JFrame. I don't know how else to say it!
