JFrame displays itself and the frame before it

I am calling a JFrame (JFrame1) via an ActionPreformed in another class. When I click the JButton, JFrame1 pops up, but it has the contents for itself and the frame before it (where the button was). Is the JFrame not opaque? Do I need a JPanel? Calling JFrame1: public void HelpActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) { NewJFrame1 open = new NewJFrame1(); java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() { public void run() { open.setVisible(true); } }); } JFrame 1: import javax.swing.JPanel; public class NewJFrame1 extends OriginalJFrame { public NewJFrame1() { initComponents(); } @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") NewJFrame1 open; public void initComponents() { jLabel1 = new javax.swing.JLabel();
