Painting over JMF component

Question

I'm capturing the Stream from a webcam and would like to draw something on top of the video image. I try that in the example below, the problem is that the other component is always in the background no matter how I arrange the components. Is there a way do solve this?

public class SwingCapture extends JPanel {

private static final long serialVersionUID = -1284686239737730338L;
private static Player player = null;
public static final int WIDTH = 640;
public static final int HEIGHT = 480;
private MediaLocator ml = null;

public SwingCapture() 
{
 setLayout(null);
 setSize(WIDTH, HEIGHT);

 ml = new MediaLocator("vfw:Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32):0"); 
 try  {
  player = Manager.createRealizedPlayer(ml);
  player.start();

  Component comp = null;
  if ((comp = player.getVisualComponent()) != null) {
   add(comp);   
   comp.setBounds(0, 0, 640, 480);
  }
  add(Canvas.getInstance());
  Canvas.getInstance().setBounds(0, 0, 640, 480);
    } 
    catch (Exception e) 
    {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

public static void playerclose() {
   player.close();
   player.deallocate();
}
}

I have solved the problem. I used a Manager.setHint(Manager.LIGHTWEIGHT_RENDERER, true); and a JLayerPane.

public class SwingCapture extends JPanel {
private static final long serialVersionUID = -1284686239737730338L;
public static Player player = null;
public static final int WIDTH = 640;
public static final int HEIGHT = 480;
public MediaLocator ml = null;

public SwingCapture() {
 setLayout(null);
 setSize(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
 JLayeredPane jLP = new JLayeredPane(); 
 jLP.setBounds(0,0,800,600);
 ml = new MediaLocator("vfw:Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32):0"); 
 try  {
  Manager.setHint(Manager.LIGHTWEIGHT_RENDERER, true);
  player = Manager.createRealizedPlayer(ml);
  player.start();
  jLP.add(Canvas.getInstance());
  Canvas.getInstance().setBounds(0, 0, 200, 200);
  Component comp = null;
  if ((comp = player.getVisualComponent()) != null) {
   jLP.add(comp, -1);   
   comp.setBounds(0, 0, 640, 480);
  }

  add(jLP);
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

 public static void playerclose() 
 {
    player.close();
    player.deallocate();
 }
}
