AWT and text fields

I'm newby in AWT and I've got some questions. How move text fields to the left? How to move second text field to next line? This is my init():

public void init() {
        setSize(500, 200);
        encode = new Button("Encode");
        Label valueL = new Label("Text:");
        Label codeLabel = new Label("Crypt:");
        text = new TextField(12);
        codeField = new TextField(12);
        add(valueL);
        add(text);
        add(encode);
        add(codeLabel);
        add(codeField);
        text.addActionListener(this);
        encode.addActionListener(this);
    }

Use JPanel panel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT)); to create a new JPanel.

Add you elements to the new JPanel like so.

panel.add(text); panel.add(codeField);
