Overlay a picture over background picture

I'm making a street fighter game in java, I have all the background pictures finished, and I'm trying to add the characters onto the background, but in the output the character picture keeps appearing next to the background instead of on top of it. I want the character to appear on top of the background, just like a normal street fighter game.

Cant access global variable in actionPeformed method in java Swing application

I have application where on Jbutton click i create new JFrame with its own class and import file
When i read file i passed that file to method of my MainGui class where i parse data and store it in array of objects which is global field.
When i click on another button from MainGui, i cant access that array of objets and none of its fields(i get nullPointerException)
Here is my code:

JPanel on CardLayout Swing Java

I am new to Java and I am making a navigation through CardLayout in Swing. Basically I have two buttons on a JFrame and when I click on one button it should go to card 1 where I have kept two buttons on JPanel, card1 and when I click on another button it should go to card 2 where I have kept a JTextField on panel card2. But it is not happening.
Can anyone fix it?
My code is as below.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class CardLayoutTest extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
JFrame f;
JButton b;
JButton c;
JPanel panel;
JPanel cards;
JPanel card1;
JPanel card2;
CardLayout card;
Container pane;
final String card1Text = "One";
final String card2Text = "Two";
CardLayoutTest() {
}
public void passBtn() {
f=new JFrame("Card Layout Test");
card1 = new JPanel();
card1.add(new JButton("Button 1 - Card 1"));
card1.add(new JButton("Button 2 - Card 1"));
card1.setBackground(new Color(255,0,0));
card2 = new JPanel();
card2.add(new JTextField("TextField on Card 2", 20));
card2.setBackground(new Color(0,255,0));
//Create the panel that contains the "cards".
cards = new JPanel(new CardLayout());
cards.add(card1, card1Text);
cards.add(card2, card2Text);
b = new JButton("Page 1");
b.setBounds(50,50,70,30);
b.setBackground(Color.red);
c = new JButton("Page 2");
c.setBounds(50,80,70,30);
c.setBackground(Color.blue);
pane = f.getContentPane();
pane.add(cards, BorderLayout.CENTER);
b.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
card.show(card1, card1Text);
}
});
c.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
card.show(card2, card2Text);
}
});
f.add(b); f.add(c); f.add(panel); f.add(cards);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
new CardLayoutTest();
}
}

Try:
card = new CardLayout();
cards = new JPanel(card);
instead of cards = new JPanel(new CardLayout());
UPDATE
public class CardLayoutTest extends JFrame {
JButton b;
JButton c;
JPanel cards;
JPanel card1;
JPanel card2;
CardLayout card;
final String card1Text = "One";
final String card2Text = "Two";
CardLayoutTest() {
super();
setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
passBtn();
}
public void passBtn() {
card1 = new JPanel();
card1.setBackground(new Color(255,0,0));
card2 = new JPanel();
card2.add(new JTextField("TextField on Card 2", 20));
card2.setBackground(new Color(0, 255, 0));
//Create the panel that contains the "cards".
card = new CardLayout();
cards = new JPanel(card);
cards.add(card1, card1Text);
cards.add(card2, card2Text);
b = new JButton("Page 1");
b.setBounds(50, 50, 70, 30);
b.setBackground(Color.red);
card1.add(b);
c = new JButton("Page 2");
c.setBounds(50, 80, 70, 30);
c.setBackground(Color.blue);
card1.add(c);
add(cards);
card.show(cards, card1Text);
b.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
try {
card.show(cards, card1Text);
} catch (Exception e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
c.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
try {
card.show(cards, card2Text);
} catch (Exception e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
CardLayoutTest cardLayoutTest = new CardLayoutTest();
cardLayoutTest.setVisible(true);
}

That is because you cannot add the same ImageIcon to the JTextPane more then once.
You can create the ImageIcons dynamically in the ActionListener, every time a smiley is clicked create a new ImageIcon
smiley2.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
tPane.insertIcon(new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("smileys/Smile2.png")));
}
});

java JFame will not work when started by actionPerformed

I have been googling an sherthing for an solution to this problem a lot but can't find any answer how to fix this. My problem is that when i start a new jframe from an actionevent from pressing a button the class white the JFrame opens but then the programs starts to freeze and the pop up windows stays blank.
Her is the cod i apologize if there is some bad programing or some words in swedish:
The start upp class:
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class maineClassen {
ArrayList<infoClass> Infon = new ArrayList<>();
public static void main (String [] args)
{
referenser referens = new referenser();
Startskärmen ss = new Startskärmen(referens);
}
}
The "startskärm" the first screen to com to:
public class Startskärmen extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
referenser referens;
ArrayList<infoClass> Infon;
JButton öppna = new JButton("open");
JButton ny = new JButton("create new");
JButton radera = new JButton("erase");
JScrollPane pane = new JScrollPane();
DefaultListModel mod = new DefaultListModel();
JList list = new JList(mod);
JScrollPane sp = new JScrollPane(list);
JLabel texten = new JLabel("pre-alpha 0.1");
public Startskärmen(referenser re)
{
//references should be sent by itself or received
referens = re;
Infon = referens.getInfoReferens();
//build up the window
JPanel labelPanel = new JPanel();
labelPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(labelPanel, BoxLayout.LINE_AXIS));
labelPanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(10,10,0,10));
labelPanel.add(texten);
JPanel scrollPanel = new JPanel();
scrollPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(scrollPanel, BoxLayout.LINE_AXIS));
scrollPanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(10,10,10,10));
scrollPanel.add(sp);// man kan ocksä sätta in --> pane <--
JPanel buttonPanel = new JPanel();
buttonPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(buttonPanel, BoxLayout.LINE_AXIS));
buttonPanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(0, 10, 10, 10));
buttonPanel.add(Box.createHorizontalGlue());
buttonPanel.add(öppna);
buttonPanel.add(Box.createRigidArea(new Dimension(10, 0)));
buttonPanel.add(ny);
buttonPanel.add(Box.createRigidArea(new Dimension(10, 0)));
buttonPanel.add(radera);
Container contentPane = getContentPane();
contentPane.add(labelPanel,BorderLayout.NORTH);
contentPane.add(scrollPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
contentPane.add(buttonPanel, BorderLayout.PAGE_END);
setVisible(true);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
pack();
setSize(500, 500);
//adda action listener
ny.addActionListener(this);
öppna.addActionListener(this);
radera.addActionListener(this);
//skapaNyIC();
}
infoClass hh;
public void skapaNyIC()
{
Infon.add(new infoClass());
Infon.get(Infon.size() -1).referenser(Infon); //Infon.get(Infon.size() -1)
mod.addElement(Infon.get(Infon.size() -1).getName());
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if(e.getSource() == ny)
{
skapaNyIC();
}
else if(e.getSource() == öppna)
{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(texten,"This function doesn't exist yet");
}
else if(e.getSource() == radera)
{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(texten, "This function doesn't exist yet");
}
}
}

so my problem now is that i can't create a new "infoclass" that will show the info in the "infoGrafikst" class. with the code:
Infon.add(new infoClass());
Infon.get(Infon.size() -1).referenser(Infon); //Infon.get(Infon.size() -1)
mod.addElement(Infon.get(Infon.size() -1).getName());
that am triggered by an button click.
Sorry for all the cod, but didn't know how to show my problem in another way.
Thanks a lot. I did find out that it was this code
int m =1;
try {
while(m ==1) {
Thread.sleep(100);
if(pausa == false)
m =2;
}
} catch(InterruptedException e) {
}
that made it not work...

Well I haven't gone through your code may be beacuse I am too lazy to read pages of code.Well i think the new window you are creating must be interfering with EDT.
Well i have done a short example which may help you, and its smooth:
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import javax.swing.*;
public class FrameLaunch {
void inti(){
final JFrame f=new JFrame();
final JFrame f2=new JFrame();
final JTextArea ja=new JTextArea();
JButton b =new JButton("press for a new JFrame");
f2.add(b);
f2.pack();
f2.setVisible(true);
b.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
f2.setVisible(false);
f.setSize(200,200);
ja.setText("THIS IS NOT FROZEN");
f.add(ja);
f.setVisible(true);
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(javax.swing.WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
}
});
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
FrameLaunch frame = new FrameLaunch();
frame.inti();
}
}
