JButton "on" JLabel

[fuadhamidov]

hi

i have developed an applet. in applet i need to show a number element on image.

so my applet include a JPanel which include a JLabel ( big image ) and a number of JButton ( elements ) on label .

while i call applet from browser i see ONLY label image.
why button image (or second label image ) is not seen?

if i put an animated image on button, they can seen in applet. otherwise i can't show them.

package myproject.test;
public class JApplet extends javax.swing.JApplet {
    public void init() {
        initComponents();
    }
    private void initComponents() {
        jPanel1 = new javax.swing.JPanel();
        jLabel1 = new javax.swing.JLabel(
            new javax.swing.ImageIcon(
                getClass().getResource( "/images/bigimage.gif" )
            )
        );
        jButton1 = new javax.swing.JButton(
            new javax.swing.ImageIcon(
                getClass().getResource( "/images/e1.gif" )
            )
        );
        jLabel2 = new javax.swing.JLabel(
            new javax.swing.ImageIcon(
                getClass().getResource( "/images/e2.gif" )
            )
        );

        getContentPane().setLayout(null);

        jPanel1.setLayout(null);

        jLabel1.setOpaque(true);
        jPanel1.add(jLabel1);
        jLabel1.setBounds(0, 70, 370, 270);

        jButton1.setOpaque(false);
        jPanel1.add(jButton1);
        jButton1.setBounds(270, 80, 42, 30);

        jPanel1.add(jLabel2);
        jLabel2.setBounds(80, 80, 0, 30);

        getContentPane().add(jPanel1);
        jPanel1.setBounds(0, 0, 370, 370);

    }

    private javax.swing.JButton jButton1;
    private javax.swing.JLabel jLabel1;
    private javax.swing.JLabel jLabel2;
    private javax.swing.JPanel jPanel1;

}

ok.

the first added element is shown on the "most front".
in order to change front to back order list, use

add(Component, i); //don't use add(Component);

if i is -1, the element will be shown at the "most back".
if i is a positive integer, it will be the order of element.
