Ok, whats going on?...

Code:

---

public class Applet1 extends Applet
{
        public String i_item;
       
       
        /**
        * The entry point for the applet.
        */
        public void init()
        {
               
                xitem = new Class1(i_item);
               
        }
         
        public void paint(Graphics g) {

 }
}

---

Ok, i want to be able to call the xitem in the paint sub. Sorry this is a basic question but this is my 3rd day doing this hehe :)

Anyways, i want to make it so i can do

Code:

---


public void paint(Graphics g) {

 xitem.Draw();

{

---

But the thing is, when i put in xitem. the submenu wont pop up. It should have Draw inside because my Class1 has it. This is what it looks like.

Code:

---

import java.awt.*;

public class Class1
{
        String x_item;
        public Class1(String x){
       
        x_item = x;
               
               
       
        }

        public void DrawX(Graphics d){
                                d.drawString(x_item,20,20);       

                 
        }
}

---

I know there are many errors, but what am i forgeting to make xitem equal to... i tried making it
public xitem Class1;
before the init void but that dosent work.

??? Please help, im stuck damnit! :\

How about:

Code:

---

public class Applet1 extends Applet {
    private String m_xitem;

    public init(String x_item) {
        m_xitem = x_item;
    }

    public void paint(Graphics g) {
        g.drawString(m_xitem, 5, 50);
    }
}

---

You'd need to use a different way of setting m_xitem, though, such as: getParameter("string"), which is set in the <applet> tag.

Ahhhhhhh.... now i see it! Thanks for the post! Ill go play around with it right now!
