Help with java - graphics problem

Hi guys,

The overall plan of the design is to have the 2 shapes saved to file, loaded from file, draggable around the screen, and resizeable and stuff....

but for now, i need to find out why the hell the jframe that's created only shows the buttons but not the shapes >.<

here's my code:

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
import javax.swing.JApplet;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import java.io.*;


class FileReader
{

public void saveData(String [][] Saver)
{
try
{
BufferedWriter bw = null;
bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("test.txt"));

int i=0, j=0;
for(i=0;i<2;i++)
{
for(j=0;j<12;j++)
{
bw.write( Saver[i][j] + " " ) ;
}
bw.write("\n");
}
bw.flush();
bw.close();
}
catch (IOException W)
{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "ERROR!");
}
catch (SecurityException seW)
{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, "Security Violation in saveData()");
}
}

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

public String loadData()
{
String s = "";

try
{

RandomAccessFile r = new RandomAccessFile( "test.txt","r" );
String text="";

while( ( text = r.readLine() ) != null )
{
s+=text;
s+="\n";
}
}
catch( IOException R )
{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "ERROR!" );
}

return s;
}

}

there's a lot of misc crap in my code too, had to put it all in to make sure that theres not one part of it thats breaking it somehow...

If i change name of Draw(Graphics g) to paint(Graphics g) then the objects are drawn but the buttons aren;t drawn straight away. If u click in theid location then they're then drawn... which confuses me as to why...

Any help on the matter is greatly appriciated....

thanx
