It's pretty simple, click a button to make parameters for an array, then press another to input data into that array based on the parameters. The issue I am having is getting the input variables from SetPButtonListener and keeping them while I execute the programming in FillButton Listener.
I tried using "implements" and such, but that would cause the reptition of the SetP programming when I pressed the Fill Array button.
I've spent all night trying to figure this out, I'm really lost.
In case I'm being a little confusing in my requst (confusing myself at least)
I need to take the parameters I input via dialogue box in SetPButtonListener and somehow be able to keep and use them in FillButtonListener
If that makes any sense.
Advice would be appreciate.
