Help with drawing a string using mouse events

[ptuckley]

Hey guys, I'm trying to create a string in the position that I click on a JFrame, but I get an error that the values for my x and y cannot be accessed from outside the package and I'm rather confused. I would appreciate any help!

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;

public class adventure
extends JFrame implements MouseListener
	{
		String message = " ";
		
		public adventure()
			{
				setSize(500,500);
				setVisible(true);
				show();
				addMouseListener(this);
			}
		
		public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
			{
				int x = e.getX(), y = e.getY();
				message="Click";
				repaint();
			}
		

		public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {}
		public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {}
		public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {}
		public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {}

		public void paint(Graphics g)
			{
				super.paint(g);
				g.drawString(message, x, y);
			}
	}

Your x and y variables are declared inside the mouseClicked method and are only visible inside of that method. You want to make these variables non-static class variables so that they're visible throughout the class.
