I am working on a project that involves showing full screen images on screen but some times I also need to show smaller images such as menus (which are layers) on TOP of the full screen image. The menus will disappear after a selection has been made but the full screen image is to stay.

I am using sprites as a way to use layers for this purpose. so the main image and the menus are composed of many different layers. The showing part works fine for me but when I set some layers to be not visible using setVisible(false) and erase the canvas and then call repaint, the main image doesn't come back. I am thinking that since my main image layer is still visible it should be redrawn with a call to repaint. Am I mis-understanding something here?? Any expert opinion would be really appreciated.
