MouseListener issues

[Warmonger]

In the following code I implemented three ways of handling mouse events:

-Game Applet is MouseListener by itself
-Control is MouseListener Thread added to Game
-Control sets variable mouseClicked to true and Game Thread checks whether it's true 30 times per second.

None of these seems to work. Your help would be appreciated.

    }
}

Before I decide final architecture and threading of project, I need to see that something works at least.
