Move Component To Front ?

Hey,
I have a panel, with some images on it, and I wanted to add a table on it, but the images always hide the table (it happens that the images are on top of the table, when I want the images to be sort of a background).
Is there any way to set the table to always be at the front, on the panel, without using layout managers?
Thanks ;)

From the docs for java.awt.Container:
"Components added to a container are tracked in a list. The order of the list will define the components' front-to-back stacking order within the container. If no index is specified when adding a component to a container, it will be added to the end of the list (and hence to the bottom of the stacking order). "
When you add() your table to your panel, you need to ensure that it is added to the beginning of the list, e.g.
myJPanel.add(myTable,0) ;or use java.awt.Container.setComponentZOrder().

Method to bring component to front?

Hey all
I am looking for a method that can be used to bring a component to front in my applet. I have a few choice menus that arent showing up and i believe it is because labels are being drawn over them.
The choice menus do not show up at all normally, but they appear just fine if I
setVisible(false) to the labels.
It has always been my understanding that components will show up in the order they are added to the applet. So if the labels are added first, then the menu second - the menu should be on top. However my applet also requires a lot of setVisible(true/false) and I am not sure if that is affecting the layering also. Would setting a component as visible automatically bring it to front, or would it remain where it has been added?
SO, if there is a bring to front method kicking around that would definately solve my problem.
thanks for the help.

If possible could you post your compilable code that simulate your
problem or in short your SSCCE.

Why a bright green screen before movie plays on Front Row?

Before I reinstalled Leopard the other day all .avi movie files on Front Row would play immediately on selection. Now, for a brief moment, the screen turns bright green before starting a number of the movies. Not all are affected. But those that are come from the same initial bit torrent source.

It seems to be part of the file as it shows when playing direct on QuickTime. Interestingly there's no green screen when the same file is played on another computer. And it didn't happen on this computer before re-install. Also, when the same files are played in QuickTime the QT pane reduces in size to smallest possible in the first few seconds of playing. If I enter full screen, the pane size doesn't reduce.

DVD Menu: Make Person On Background Movie Walk In Front Of Drop Zone?

This is the same idea as the iDVD theme - Fish.
In that, there is a photo frame at the bottom of a fish tank.
The inside of the frame is a drop zone.
A fish on the background/theme movie swims in front of the photo frame containing the movie you have dropped onto the drop zone.
It looks completely realistic and there is no translucency in the fish.
How is it done?

Just to make it clear, I can do the drop zones etc. it is just that I can't make something on the background movie pass in front of the drop zone.
When I tried it in DVDSP I had partial success by fiddling with the order of the layers but the "fish" was always translucent with the movie in the drop zone showing through it slightly.
I am sure it can be done in Motion?

No "itunes top movie" in my front row

I cannot find the "itunes top movie" option in the movie section of Front row, anyone can give me some suggestion how can i find out that option please?
I already updated the front row and itunes.
ITunes 8.1 and Front Row 2.1.7
Thx for any help!!!!!

The top movies are based on the country of your selection for the iTunes store.
Actually, the top movies/music of Front Row 2 are not related to iTunes at all. I think the store is derived from the IP address initiating the request to Apple's servers.
To fix your problem, open a Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities), paste the following command:
*defaults delete com.apple.frontrow MusicStoreFrontID && killall "Front Row"*
then hit enter. Now, you can relaunch Front Row and you should have your top movies restored.
Also, as Douglas noted, you must have a working internet connection for this content to be available.

HD Movie Rentals on Front Row or just Apple TV

I saw the keynote where you can get HD movie rentals with apple TV. Will this be possible through Front Row on any computer or just with Apple TV?

Does iTunes Rentals work with Front Row, because the movies don't show up in my the movies list in Front Row?

Strange numbers show below in movie section in front row

I have front row working on my mac mini, for some strange reason when i goto the movie section of front row I get iTunes Top films/ThTrailers/Movies folder(My movies). But under this I get a whole list of files named with numbers and letters? I'm not sure where these come from.
any ideas
lister

Basically it's before that.. When I first start up frontrow and head to movies i get a list to choose from:
iTunes Top films
ThTrailers
Movies folder(My movies)
012568456888H1H34887HEN9
014153668NMK8H14088710U9
012568456888H1H34887HEN9
014153668NMK8H14088710U9
etc...
Im not sure where these numbers come from and what they are? There's a whole bunch of them.. When I select one in the side part where it displays an image there is a bright white graphic rotating.
I don;t use the iTunes store so my iTunes is probably just set on UK

Component to front

If you have some overlapping components on a JPanel is there an Object you can call to bring the one you want showing to the front much like :
frame.toFront();except with components on a JPanel.

Just to add. I am trying to add a component A on top of component B, but with the way the compiler works when I add component A it is displayed behind component B. (I am using a null Layout Manager) I want component A to be displayed on top of component B when I add it. I have a JLabel which I am trying to drag over a bunch of JTextFields, but right now the Label shows up behind all the JTextFields instead of on top when it is being dragged.

Any fast way to move objects in front panel?

Hi there,
I don't know if this is asked before. It is not a technical question but I wonder any way to move any object/control on the front panel quickly. I try to google and search in the forum but didn't see any way to do so. Sometimes, while developing complex program, too many controls used, after a control deleted and added back, it will appear in somewhere far away from the main region. I use mouse to move it back but it is so slow.
Also, in the diagram, for a big program, moving or lining from one end to other is so slow, any way to drag one line quickly from one end to other? Thanks.
Solved!

With try and error, I just found that pressing SHIFT while moving the objects will speed it up.

Movie library from Front Row

i just realized that my front row is gone. I need to know where my library of movies has disappeared to so that I can still access those. Help, please.

Front row went away with Lion. Depending on hoe you updated your movies may still be in your movies folder. Movies can also be stored in iTunes.
Wintry Wishes. May this season bring you the gifts of peace, hope and joy.

Can't play movie files in front row...

Hello,
I just got a new Macbook Pro (With lepoard) and cannot get my movie to play in Front Row. I could do it no problem in Tiger. I keep getting the message "The selected video could not be played--the format was not recognized."
The picture of the video shows up next to it, but it does not play and gives the above message.
Please help me out, as this is extremely frustrating. Thanks.

I had the same problem (only with the trailers and top (Movies and TV), it was resolved (unfortunately I don't remember how, may be with an upgrade) and now I have it again. These are files created by apple therefore there is no reason why a 3rd party codec would be needed to play them.

MAINSTAGE 2 - Can't move something to front in Layout mode

I'm trying to make a nice layout for my live performance concert in mainstage 2. I want to put our band's logo on the concert, just for personal satisfaction.
One thing I've noticed seems to be lacking in Mainstage is the ability to re-order/arrange objects in layout mode. I want the logo against a black background so I've tried putting a black background and then putting another background in with the picture set as the background, but the logo just moves behind it rather than in front of it. Is there anything I'm missing, or is this just a feature that's missing?

I've looked at that thread, and it does look like the same problem. I've also looked at this thread which seems the same: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4025125#4025125
That thread also brings up a good point with computer accounts; like it says there, mine is also mobile managed. I'm waiting to talk to IT and see if that's the issue - although again, everything was working fine earlier and my account permissions haven't changed since then, so that might not be it.

Move component in JPanel on Top?

Hi there,
is there any possibility to move a component in a JPanel on top of all other components in this jpanel?
So if I move one component over another one the dragged one is on top of all the other ones contained in the same JPanel?
Sincerely
Karlheinz Toni

THx for your post :),
How could I implement this?
Should I write a method in the parent panel with LayoutManager null being called when the mouse is pressed on my component I want to move to the top:
   * THis method moves the paramater passed on top of all other parameters included
   * in this panel
   * @param toMove - Container to be moved on top
public void move_To_Top(Container c){
java.awt.Component[] tmp = this.getComponents();
    for(int i = 0; i<tmp.length; i++){
      if(tmp.equals(toMove)){
this.remove(toMove);
this.validate();
this.add(toMove,-1);
}//if
}//for
or is this wrong? Is there a faster way to do so? Or is this right? Any other ideas?
Sincerely
