Blank Applet Screen

[ralawar]

Hi, I'm new to these boards. I am currently working on a java applet (stand alone - no html stuff) and I'm having a little problem. When I run the following code, nothing appears on the applet until i resize the frame while it's running (and then it works just fine):

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.font.*;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.Date;
import static java.awt.BorderLayout.*;


public class WidgetStore extends JApplet implements ActionListener
{
//declare variables and images
ImageIcon introScreen = new ImageIcon("IntroScreen.gif");
JLabel introScreenLabel = new JLabel(introScreen);

//construct components and containers
JButton proceedButton = new JButton("Enter");

Container c = getContentPane();
JPanel topIntroPanel = new JPanel();
JPanel bottomIntroPanel = new JPanel();

public void paint(Graphics g)
{
}

public void init()
{
//set frame properties
setSize(350,325);

//create panels and add or change various components
c.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
topIntroPanel.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
bottomIntroPanel.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
c.add(topIntroPanel, NORTH);
c.add(bottomIntroPanel, CENTER);

topIntroPanel.add(introScreenLabel);
topIntroPanel.setBackground(Color.black);

bottomIntroPanel.add(proceedButton);
bottomIntroPanel.setBackground(Color.black);
}

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
}
}

I don't understand what's causing the applet to not display anything until a resizing of the frame occurs....moving the frame around doesn't do anything either.

All help appreciated! Thanks!

Nevermind, I solved it.
