You need to over ride paint() or paintComponent() method for drawing your 'DOTs' at specified positions.
Positions can be obtained from MouseEvent.getX() & MouseEvent.getY() methods in the listener which I presume u have added over the container that holds these 'dots'.

else try using swing components as they are double buffered by default. For AWT components u have to write ur own code for the same.
