Hi,
I'm a bit confused between flowlayout. My instructor didn't give much information on it.
My instructor told me it arranges contents by LEFT, CENTER, RIGHT.
-but is the same as borderlayout without using north and south?
Read the tutorial. You where given the link in your last posting.
I agree with camickr and will add my own recommendation: You have a java compiler, you can produce code. Why not play with the FlowLayout manager and see directly for yourself what happens when you change the settings. For me there is no better teacher than direct experience.
