Have you tried sending an instance of the frame into its child.

new Frame2(this);

Class Frame2
{
  Frame2(Frame Parent)
  { .... }
}


If you do this you can control the parent frame by referencing it as Parent or
whatever you want to call it and using the normal setEnabled and setVisible
commands.
