simple MoustAction Listener help

I'm trying to have make this applet where you have this house and when you click in it, the windows and doors only should turn black.

My code compiles and the logic seems to be right, but for some reason it's not working. Can any 1 point out what am I missing? ty

Code:

import javax.swing.JApplet; import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.event.*; import java.awt.*; import java.util.Random; public class Assignment14 extends JApplet { Color mycolor = Color.black; int x1[] = {70, 750, 400}; int y1[] = {250, 250, 50}; boolean changeColor = true; public void init() { addMouseListener ( new MouseAdapter() { public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) { repaint(); } } ); } public void paint(Graphics g) { drawHouse(g); changeColor(g); } public void drawHouse(Graphics g) { super.paint(g); // house. g.setColor(mycolor); g.drawRect(110, 250, 600, 330); // roof. g.drawPolygon(x1, y1, 3); // left window. g.drawRect(200, 300, 100, 100); g.drawLine(250, 300, 250, 400); g.drawLine(300, 350, 200, 350); // door. g.drawRect(400, 430, 100, 150); // right window g.drawRect(550, 300, 100, 100); g.drawLine(600, 300, 600, 400); g.drawLine(650, 350, 550, 350); } public void changeColor (Graphics g) { int colorChange = 0; g.setFont(new Font("Dialog", Font.BOLD, 15)); g.setColor(new Color(colorChange, colorChange, colorChange)); } }

html code

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> </head> <body bgcolor="000000"> <center> <applet code = "Assignment14.class" width = "800" height = "600" > </applet> </center> </body> </html>

Your change color method doesn't do anything. You need have your mouse listener change a boolean variable with class scope, and you need to have an if block in your paint method (or here your drawHouse method which is equivalent) and have some drawing instructions to fill some rects if the boolean is true.

Also, most of us don't draw directly in a JApplet, but rather in a JPanel that the JApplet displays. This allows your applets to have the painting advantages of Swing. e.g.,

Code:

import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.*; @SuppressWarnings("serial") public class Ass14 extends JApplet { private JPanel panel = new JPanel() { @Override protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) { super.paintComponent(g); myPaint(g); } }; private boolean fillBlue = false; private void myPaint(Graphics g) { g.setColor(Color.black); g.drawRect(100, 100, 200, 200); if (fillBlue) { g.setColor(Color.blue); g.fillRect(100, 100, 200, 200); } } public void init() { try { javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(new Runnable() { public void run() { createGUI(); } }); } catch (Exception e) { System.err.println("createGUI didn't successfully complete"); } } private void createGUI() { panel.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() { public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) { fillBlue = !fillBlue; // this will toggle the color panel.repaint(); } }); getContentPane().add(panel); } }

oooh, i see wat u mean,, ty very much!!!!
