what you might need is

    public static Frame getParentFrame( Component child )
        {
        Container c = child.getParent();
        while ( c != null )
            {
            if ( c instanceof Frame )
                {
                return ( Frame ) c;
                }
            c = c.getParent();
            }
        return null;
