Need help with looping mouse Events.

[busdude]

I'm trying to add several different points that the user clicks into an ArrayList, but I'm not sure how to get a new mouse event at a different location. It just adds the coordinate of the first point several times.

ArrayList points = new ArrayList<Point2D.Double>(); (declared outside of mousePressListener class)

class MousePressListener implements MouseListener
      {
         public void mousePressed(MouseEvent event)
        {
if (event.getButton() == event.BUTTON1)
{
    for (int a = 0; a < 3; a++)
                {                    
points.add(new Point2D.Double(event.getX(),event.getY()));       
                }

}
}

Trying to get the user to click three points and insert them in an array list, but it seems it adds the same co-orinate(the first point) 3 times, how do I generate a new mouse event within this method?

Without seeing all the code, I think you need to take out the loop... Because each time the mouse button is pressed your program will grab the current point. So in your program the user presses the mouse once and the loop adds the current point to the arraylist 3 times... Hence your dilemma...
