Yeah. You're creating a frame but your graphic isn't inside the frame. Can't tell much without the code, but the AWT Tutorial at java.sun.com isn't bad on this stuff.
Okay, a little more (I haven't used AWT in a long time.)
Here's the couple of issues you have. A Frame is a kind of Window -- it wants to be a separate window with its own close button and so forth.
When you create your graphic, you have to tell it was component its parent is; you're somehow parenting it to the Applet. So you have some piece of code that looks like
add(myComponent);
in the context of the Applet as this.
public class myApplet extends Applet {
// lots of stuff here creating your canvas, putting the image in it
// and so forth. There's an example, see fn 1.
// When you're done, you have a component, call it myImage.
add(myImage);
}
You have a Frame, and you're adding your buttons to that.
public class MyFrame extends Frame {
add(new Button(...));
add(new Button(...));
}
You need to move the code that adds your Canvas into the Frame class in some method.
(WARNING: this is not complete Java code, I don't recall the names of the right methods offhand. Probably the init() method in the Applet, at least.
