deprecated method.. help!

[iuna]

Can someone please help me in converting the deprecated method handleEvent() to processEvent() in this program? I don't know how..

attached is the program I'm working on.. thanks for the help

What have you tried so far?
What does the doc say for the new method?
Why are you using such low level methods? This must be a VERY old program.

[iuna]

it says that I have to use protected void processEvent(AWTEvent e)..

seems like I have to create an AWTEvent method.. does it mean that I just have to copy all the contents of handleEvent into the AWTEvent?

waa.. O_O

There is a problem with Game.zip file. I can't open it after its downloaded.

I opened it with 7-zip, but it was created using AWT which I don't know:

Did you read the Java document? It should be clearly explain what you have to do.

You should rewrite the code to use current techniques such as Listeners.
What events does the code handle?

sorry for the corrupted file..

it can be downloaded at mediafire[dot]com/download[dot]php?2scvqbhzg6x

(seems like I can't post links here)

I think it handles the "Start", "Submit" and "Accept" events

yes I've read it but I'm still new to Java so I'm still lost with the API..

"Start", "Submit" and "Accept" events

Those don't sound like events. Are they the labels on buttons?
Buttons create ActionEvents which are handled by actionListeners.

The deprecation messages are only warnings. You can ignore them for now. The program should execute. As you learn java you will learn about events and listeners and will be able to rewrite the program to use them instead of using handleEvent
