    Unhappy Puzzle Programming - HEEELP! DX

    Hello everyone, I will have to finish a school project until the .. 10th of July or, if I am lucky, next week.

    I canīt seem to solve a certain problem in one of my classes that I havenīt even been able to detect yet.

    The code I have for the puzzle so far is this:

    import java.awt.BorderLayout;
    import java.awt.Dimension;
    import java.awt.GridLayout;
    import java.awt.Image;
    import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
    import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
    import java.awt.image.CropImageFilter;
    import java.awt.image.FilteredImageSource;
     
    import javax.swing.Box;
    import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
    import javax.swing.JButton;
    import javax.swing.JFrame;
    import javax.swing.JLabel;
    import javax.swing.JPanel;
    import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
     
    public class Puzzle extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
        private CountDown cd;
        private JPanel centerPanel;
        private JButton button;
        private JLabel label;
        private Image source;
        private Image image;
        int[][] pos;
        int width, height;
     
        public Puzzle() {
            CountDown cd = new CountDown();
            add(cd);
            initUI();
        }
     
        public final void initUI() {
     
            pos = new int[][]{
                        {0, 1, 2},
                        {3, 4, 5},
                        {6, 7, 8},
                        {9, 10, 11}
                    };
     
     
            centerPanel = new JPanel();
            centerPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(4, 4, 0, 0));
     
            ImageIcon lama = new ImageIcon(Puzzle.class.getResource("Lama.png"));
            source = lama.getImage();
     
            width = lama.getIconWidth();
            height = lama.getIconHeight();
     
     
            add(Box.createRigidArea(new Dimension(0, 5)), BorderLayout.NORTH);
            add(centerPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
     
     
            for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
                for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
                    if (j == 2 && i == 3) {
                        label = new JLabel("");
                        centerPanel.add(label);
                    } else {
                        button = new JButton();
                        button.addActionListener(this);
                        centerPanel.add(button);
                        image = createImage(new FilteredImageSource(source.getSource(),
                                new CropImageFilter(j * width / 3, i * height / 4,
                                (width / 3) + 1, height / 4)));
                        button.setIcon(new ImageIcon(image));
                    }
                }
            }
     
            setSize(325, 275);
            setTitle("Puzzle");
            setResizable(false);
            setLocationRelativeTo(null);
            setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
        }
     
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
     
            JButton button = (JButton) e.getSource();
            Dimension size = button.getSize();
     
            int labelX = label.getX();
            int labelY = label.getY();
            int buttonX = button.getX();
            int buttonY = button.getY();
            int buttonPosX = buttonX / size.width;
            int buttonPosY = buttonY / size.height;
            int buttonIndex = pos[buttonPosY][buttonPosX];
     
     
     
            if (labelX == buttonX && (labelY - buttonY) == size.height) {
     
                int labelIndex = buttonIndex + 3;
     
                centerPanel.remove(buttonIndex);
                centerPanel.add(label, buttonIndex);
                centerPanel.add(button, labelIndex);
                centerPanel.validate();
            }
     
            if (labelX == buttonX && (labelY - buttonY) == -size.height) {
     
                int labelIndex = buttonIndex - 3;
                centerPanel.remove(labelIndex);
                centerPanel.add(button, labelIndex);
                centerPanel.add(label, buttonIndex);
                centerPanel.validate();
            }
     
            if (labelY == buttonY && (labelX - buttonX) == size.width) {
     
                int labelIndex = buttonIndex + 1;
     
                centerPanel.remove(buttonIndex);
                centerPanel.add(label, buttonIndex);
                centerPanel.add(button, labelIndex);
                centerPanel.validate();
            }
     
            if (labelY == buttonY && (labelX - buttonX) == -size.width) {
     
                int labelIndex = buttonIndex - 1;
     
                centerPanel.remove(buttonIndex);
                centerPanel.add(label, labelIndex);
                centerPanel.add(button, labelIndex);
                centerPanel.validate();
            }
        }
     
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    Puzzle puzzle = new Puzzle();
                    puzzle.setVisible(true);
                }
            });
        }
    }


    I donīt even know where to start searching.

    The CountDown works fine by the way. Itīs the puzzle that sorta fails.
    And BlueJ (I have to use it for school, the shittiest IDE ever..) couldnīt find any syntax errors or Exceptions, etc..
    My IDE thinks that it works, but only shows the CountDown as if everything was alright. :/
    But where did my picture go? :X

    I have the same problem in the two other levels, too.
    One day I got the chance to speak to a hacker.. of course, I asked him to tell me where to start. i asked him what to do and even requested homework...

    He said: "Hehe, you have to work hard on your own little girl.. donīt change your dreams, change the world.."

    ... and thatīs what Iīm going to do. If he is somewhere out there and reads this someday, I thank him for encouraging me. His words have boosted my will to fight!

    Yeah... I canīt figure out the mistake in it.

    I know that there must be one.. a fatal one, actually, but I donīt know where. Whatever it is, the puzzle doesnīt work.

    the puzzle doesnīt work.
    Please explain.
    What is the program supposed to do?
    What does it do now?
    Copy the program's output, post it here and explain what is wrong with it and show what it should be.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
