🚀 go-pugleaf

I have an applet inside a frame inside an application.  From the Applet,
I am trying to load a dialog box, which requires a reference to the
frame.  here's how I'm trying to do it:

    my_Dialog my_Dialog = new my_Dialog(this.getParent());
    my_Dialog.show();

But this gives an error:  "Error (598) constructor
my_Dialog(java.awt.Container) not found in class rte.my_Dialog."

Why is getParent() returning the Container and not the Frame, as I
thought it should (this is the phrase that the docs told me to use)?
How can i create this Dialog box?

Thanks.
