Tues feb 10: show and hide frames, part two

OK, now that you have two frames, how's about we do something with them? For starters, lets make it possible for a button on one frame to make another frame hide itself. Here is how you do it:






A) Declare a second button by adding this line
Button peek;


right below this line


Button b;






B) Add this second button to your first frame by adding this block of code into your constructor:
peek = new Button("PEEKABOO!"); //declare button
peek.addActionListener(this); //give it some action
f1.add(peek); //add to frame






C) SAVE, COMPILE THEN RUN THE PROGRAM. Both buttons should do the same thing; we will fix that in the final blog post

Cheers,
Uncle Paulie
