Calling a method in another class
This must be a classic 'if I had a dollar' kind of question, but I'm confused about calling methods in other classes. The problem snippet is:

Code:
Card card = new Card(); card.Card();
- which to the best of my knowledge should work, but doesn't. What I want to do, for the purpose of experimenting with CardLayout, is initiate the Card Layout tutorial (in the class Card) from another class by calling the method Card();. Here's the whole thing:

Code:
import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.*; public class Menu { public static void main(String[] args) { JFrame frame = new JFrame("Menu"); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE ); frame.setSize(1200,800); frame.setVisible(true); } Card card = new Card(); card.main(); } class Card extends JPanel { CardLayout cards = new CardLayout(); public Card() { setLayout(cards); ActionListener listener = new ActionListener() { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { cards.next(Card.this); } }; JButton button; button = new JButton("one"); button.addActionListener(listener); add(button, "one"); button = new JButton("two"); button.addActionListener(listener); add(button, "two"); button = new JButton("three"); button.addActionListener(listener); add(button, "three"); } public static void main(String[] args) { JFrame frame = new JFrame("Card"); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE ); frame.setSize(200, 200); frame.setLocation(200, 200); frame.setContentPane(new Card()); frame.setVisible(true); } }
