I'm trying to use Matisse in NetBeans to create a simple game...like Myst. I just want it to display a Frame that has things like a text field and buttons/inventory on the right. I can do that. Then I created a Jpanel that displays on the Frame. I've input some pictures and created a set of cards to make visible and invisible when needed. Each card/scene needs to have buttons that will be different for each scene. Basically I want to make transparent buttons for the user to press that do things (i.e. move to next picture/scene, find a key, etc...). I can create different buttons in each picture, but I can't seem to move them anywhere. I have a suspicion it's due to Matisse, but I don't know.
Here is some of the code, I'm sure it's crude as it's my first implementation of anything in Java. At the very bottom in the Scene to display I've added a button, that displays. I pretty much know now that the setBounds won't work due to the way position works...how would I then place it somewhere. Right now it just displays at the top mid of the picture.
