P:ut a print statement at the start of the ActionPerformed to see if it's being called. If so, it's an error inside the logic of that method.

print statement? do u mean i should use S.O.P(" ")? teach me plss..im learning...~

Yes, System.out.println("Action handler called");
or something like that.
This is a very useful thing to do when debugging any program.
1. To see which code is/isn't being executed and
2. To display the values of variables to check that they are being set/updated as you expect.
Real programmers do it a lot, even before they hit bugs.

nothing happen..hmm..

// initialize button
jbtBatman = new JButton (batman);

add the action listener to it

jbtBatman.addActionListener(this);

but do you add it to the window?

// add button to the frame
p1.add(new JButton(batman));

No - you create another new button and add that instead.

and what did you tried

i still cant grab what r u saying...

did u mean i shouldnt put

p1.add(new JButton(batman));

im trying to combine ImageIcon+JPanel+JButton...

NO, you shouldn't add another new button, you should add the button you already created in jbtBatman

omg..now i see the problem is...~ im so dumb..Thx guys

im so dumb

If you are, then so is everyone else who has ever posted or replied in this forum!
We've all done something like that, more than once.
You can often find that kind of "blind spot" error by explaining your code line-by-line to someone else - as soon as you have to read each line of code out loud you often realise that what you wrote wasn't exactly what you intended...

ps Thanks for letting us know how it turned out - it's surprising how often people disappear as soon as they get an answer and just leave the topic open.
