Let me start off by saying I know I've violated some basic Java principles in this messy code, but I'm desperately trying to finish a program by Tuesday for a social science experiment, and I don't know Java, so I'm basically just fumbling through it for now.

With that disclaimer out of the way, I have a separate program working where a circle is moving around the screen and the user must click on it. It works fine when its in its own separate class file, but when I add the code to my main program, it's no longer working. I don't even really understand why repaint() calls my paint() function — as far as I'm concerned, it's magic, but I've noticed that repaint() calls paint() in my test program, but not in the more complicated actual program, and I assume that's why the circle is no longer painting on my program.

Entire code is below:

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;

final JFrame frame = new JFrame("Reflexology");
final JFrame frame2 = new JFrame("The Test");

public static void main(String[] args){
    new Reflexology1();
}

public Reflexology1(){
    frame.setSize(600, 475);
    frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.setTitle("Reflexology 1.0");
    frame.setResizable(false);

    frame2.setSize(600, 475);

    frame2.setResizable(false);

    button1 = new JButton("Accept");
    button2 = new JButton("Decline");
    //movingButton = new JButton("Click Me");

    ListenForAcceptButton lForAButton = new ListenForAcceptButton();

    button1.addActionListener(lForAButton);
    button2.addActionListener(lForDButton);
    //movingButton.addActionListener(lForMButton);

    JTextArea textArea1 = new JTextArea(24, 50);

    textArea1.setText("Tracking Events\n");
    textArea1.setLineWrap(true);
    textArea1.setWrapStyleWord(true);
    textArea1.setSize(15, 50);
    textArea1.setEditable(false);

        textArea1.read(reader, "EULA.txt");

Could anyone tell me what I need to do to get repaint() to call the paint() method in the above program? I'm assuming the multiple frames is causing the problem, but that's just a guess. Thanks.
