Why are you posting this on a C++ forum? You do realize the code you have written is in Java?

If you want *any* chance to get help, click 'edit topic' at the top of this page and move this topic into the lounge. There is still no guarantee that I or rapidcoder will help, however.

This is a C++ forum, there are many Java forums out there.

Secondly, please use code tags (the <> sign under format when you are posting a thread).

And lastly, because I am a nice person, the solution to your problem is that SevenContinentsFrame goes out of scope in your other functions other than main(). Read this article, start to finish: http://www.java-made-easy.com/variable-scope.html
