Hi I need some help with this background and buttons

-----------------------------------

Basically I have this background and I want to put these transparent buttons in place so it could work as a proper menu screen

here is a picture of what happens: http://i.imgur.com/kiFOW.png

as you can see the transparent buttons are on the right side of the background, I want those buttons to be placed where the start and info buttons are located

I kept trying to see how I can fix this and I am literally stumped, when I setlayout to null the background picture goes away, but I can't use setbounds without using setlayout

basically I know the problem but I do not know how to fix it so I hope you guys can help

here is the code

[code]import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;

public class Menu extends JFrame implements ActionListener
{
	Container pane = getContentPane();
	Container button = getContentPane();
	JPanel background = new JPanel();
	ImageIcon bg = new ImageIcon("LeagueTD Menu.png");
	JLabel bgpic = new JLabel(bg);
	JButton start = new JButton("");
	JButton info = new JButton("");

	public Menu()
	{
		super("Menu");
		setSize(800,600);
		setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		
		//Set buttons coordinates
		start.setBounds(32,367,182,72);
		info.setBounds(32,457,182,72);

		//set buttons transparent
		start.setBackground(new Color(0,0,0,0));
		info.setBackground(new Color(0,0,0,0));

		start.addActionListener(this);
		info.addActionListener(this);

		background.add(bgpic);
		background.add(start);
		background.add(info);
		pane.add("Center",background);
		setVisible(true);
	}

	public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
	{
		if(event.getSource()==start)
		{
			dispose();
			Mode frame = new Mode();

		}
	}
}
[/code]

nvm I fixed it T_T

I just used setbounds for the background as well and used setlayout(null)

anyways while I have your attention if your reading this

anyone know of a good tutorial to build a tower defense game in java :P? I'm still a complete noob
