I created a simple "elevator" program (it's still in the beginning stages) that goes up 1 floor when I click UP and vice versa.
I messed up pretty badly when I drew all my components into JFrame, and as expected, it flickers every time I click the button (repaints). I know the solution to be draw in the JPanel and put the said panel in the JFrame, but I have a problem translating my JFrame components into JPanel. I've tried extending JPanel, creating a JFrame object and then overriding the paintComponent() method and doing my drawing there, but when I compile it does not draw it at all. It only creates the frame.
Can anyone help me or give me tips on how to proceed "transferring" my programming from JFrame based to JPanel based? Thank you in advance!

The main class just gets input from the user, such as the number of floors, time of day, etc.
Answer
This is going to be a little messy.
Start by creating a custom component that extends from JPanel (I'll call it ElevatorPane).
Take the contents of the current paint method and place them within this components paintComponent method. This will involve moving the instance variables that the paintComponent method will need including, totnumoffloors, bordercount, up, down, movefloorup, switchmarker, rectX
This is where it gets a little messy...
You need to take the contents of your ActionListeners and translate these into methods within the ElevatorPane, this way you expose the functionality without exposing the details...
Create a constructor within ElevatorPane that takes the number of floors.
Override the getPrefferedSize method of ElevatorPane and return the size that the component needs to be to satisfy your needs...
Create an instance field of ElevatorPane in MyCanvas, instantiate it and add it to the frame.
Clean, build, run...
