placing/adding canvas on/to applet

If you had used Swing instead (a JApplet versus an Applet etc.) you could've
used a JLayeredPane; it's a nice component where other componenents (such
as JPanels (instead of a Canvas) can 'float' around on top of each other and
behind each other depending on the 'layer' the JPanel is put in.

AWT is very outdated; consider using Swing instead; the transition doesn't cost much.

kind regards,

Hello,
lately I've been trying to make an applet that has a background image and a couple of canvas objects on it holding an image each.
I created the class ImageCanvas which extends Canvas adn draws a picture in the canvas.
Next I have to place the canvas on the applet and there I got stuck because I don't know how to control the position of every canvas. How can I put a canvas exactly there where I want it to be?

Here is my code so far:

1. import java.awt.*;
2. import java.applet.*;
3. import java.awt.event.*;
4. import java.awt.image.*;
5. import java.io.*;
6. import java.util.*;
7. import java.net.*; 
8. import java.awt.Graphics;

10. public class TLCS extends Applet {
11.  
12.     Image image;
13.     ImageCanvas canvas1;
14.     Graphics g;
15.  
16.     public void init()
17.     { 
18.       setSize(774,536);
19.       Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
20.       image = toolkit.getImage("Crossing.gif");
21.       canvas1 = new ImageCanvas();
22.       canvas1.setBounds(50, 80, 39, 99);
23.       //setLocation(50, 100);
24.  
25.       add(canvas1);  
26.     }
27.  
28.     public void paint(Graphics g)
29.     {
30.         g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, this);
31.     }
32.  
33. }
34.  
35. import java.awt.Canvas;
36. import java.awt.Color;
37. import java.awt.Font;
38. import java.awt.Image;
39. import java.awt.Graphics;
40. import java.awt.SystemColor;
41. import java.awt.Toolkit;
42.  
43.  
44. public class ImageCanvas extends Canvas {
45.  
46. private Image image;
47. protected int width = 39;
48. protected int height = 99;
49. Image img;
50.  
51. public ImageCanvas() {
52. //this.image = image;
53.     setSize(39,99);
54. }
55.  
56.  
57. public void paint(Graphics g)
58. {
59.     Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
60.     img = toolkit.getImage("red3.gif");
61.         g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, this);
62. }
63. }
64.  

The applet does work: it displays the background image "crossing.gif" and in the center of the window it place the Canvas, but I want to have some more canvasses and place them where I want them.
Thank you,
Andre

import javax.swing.*;

public static void main(String args [])
{
JFrame jf1 = new JFrame("This Is the First Frame");
JLabel lbl1 = new JLabel();
JLabel lbl2 = new JLabel();


jf1.setSize(500,500);
Container c = jf1.getContentPane();


ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("Golf.jpg");
lbl1.setIcon(icon);

c.add(lbl1);

ImageIcon icon2 = new ImageIcon("golfball.jpg");
lbl2.setIcon(icon2);



c.add(lbl2);
c.add(lbl1);

jf1.setVisible(true);
