the red dot for this program is not showing for some reason.

Welcome to the java-forums.org!

Can you tell us more about your problem? What does the red dot represent? When and where is it supposed to appear?

Since you have a somewhat large bit of code posted, most of it unrelated to your current problem, you should strongly consider creating and posting a small applet that does nothing more than try to display a red dot in a similar fashion to your main program above. This is called creating an SSCCE, and the process of extracting out and simplifying the problem often will lead you to a solution without our help (the best outcome possible here), or failing that, will allow you to post concise runnable code that we can more easily understand, modify, and help you with.

Luck!

public class Dot extends JPanel{
public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
paintdot(g);
System.out.println("y");
}

public void paintdot(Graphics g){
if(hit)
{
isWhite=false;
for(int i = 0; i < 14; i++){
if(whiteKey[i] == soundNumber){
isWhite=true;
}
}
if(isWhite){
g.setColor(Color.red);
redotx = 54;
for(int i = 0; i < 14; i++){
if(whiteKey[i] == soundNumber){
redotx = i*28+54+14;
}
}
g.fillOval(redotx - 4, 220, 10, 10);
}
else{
g.setColor(Color.red);
redotx = ((keyEdge[soundNumber + 1] + keyEdge[soundNumber])/2)+2;
g.fillOval(redotx - 4, 180, 10, 10);
}
}
System.out.println("dot"+redotx);
}
}

public void init()
{
try{
myPicture = ImageIO.read(new File("piano.gif"));
}
catch(IOException ie){}

JLabel picLabel = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(myPicture));

Container c = getContentPane();

Box all = Box.createVerticalBox();
Box top = Box.createHorizontalBox();
Box bottom = Box.createHorizontalBox();
recordButton = new JButton("Record");
playButton = new JButton("Play");

c.setLayout(new FlowLayout());

this.rdot = new Dot();
top.add(this.rdot);

top.add(picLabel);
all.add(top);
all.add(Box.createVerticalStrut(25));
bottom.add(recordButton);
bottom.add(playButton);
all.add(bottom);

c.add(all);
resize(500, 450);
}

But some how the dot (oval) do not appear in appletviewer

You'll want to re-read the link on how to create an SSCCE, because I can't run the code from either of your posts above, and so cannot reproduce your problem or help you.

Best of luck!
