Question: My JLabel and JTextField are not appearing overtop the image and I'm not sure why. I've put the image on a JLabel and setOpaque(false) but no luck. Any advice? Thanks for the help in advance. 

```
       private JTextField tf;
       private JLabel jl2;
       private JLabel jl3;

       public void window() {
           ImageIcon ic = new ImageIcon("hangman.png");
          JFrame gameFrame = new JFrame();
          JPanel jp = new JPanel();
          jp.setOpaque(false); //!!
          jp.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder(""));
          JLabel img = new JLabel(ic, JLabel.CENTER);
          img.setOpaque(false);
          JLabel jl = new JLabel("Enter a Letter:");
          jl.setFont(new Font("Rockwell", Font.PLAIN, 20));
          tf = new JTextField(1);
          jl2 = new JLabel("Letters Used:    ");
          jl3 = new JLabel();//blank spaces
          tf.setFont(new Font("Rockwell", Font.PLAIN, 20));
          jl2.setFont(new Font("Rockwell", Font.PLAIN, 20));
          jp.add(jl);
          jp.add(tf);
          jp.add(jl2);
          jp.add(jl3);
          gameFrame.add(img);
          img.add(jp);
          gameFrame.setTitle("Hangman");
          gameFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          gameFrame.setIconImage(
          new ImageIcon("Hangman-Game-grey.png").getImage());
          gameFrame.setResizable(false);
          gameFrame.pack();
          gameFrame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
          gameFrame.setVisible(true);

Answer: 
You can use `sails.controllers.yourControllerName.findStore()`

the `sails` global object has references to almost everything.
You can do something like this:

```
//ArticleController
module.exports = {
  findStore: async () => {
    return await findStoreFunc(req.param('id'));
  },
  index: async () => {
    ...
    return await findStoreFunc(id);
  }
};

const findStoreFunc = async (id) => {...}

```

And to use the function from another controller:

```
const ArticleController = require('./ArticleController');
//CustomerController
module.exports = {
  index: async () => {
    ...
    let article = await ArticleController.findStore(id);
    ...
  }
};

```
