I think the point of FlowLayout is that the container decides for itself
how to layout the components ... if you want more control you should use
a different layout manager, eg. GridLayout(1,2) will do what you want.
Also, you can do some pretty complex layouts if you use GridBagLayout.

If you were set on FlowLayout, I guess you could get some control over
the arrangement in a FlowLayout by setting the size of the container
(the applet here).

The container method 'setLayout' is used to set the layout manager.

Also, You should be adding components to the applet rather than to the
manager.

  applet.setLayout ( new FlowLayout() ); // default anyway i think
  applet.add ( component );
