Execute code from ActionListener

[Viola]

Hello everyone,

I am new to this forum and very very new to Java, so please ignore my ignorance :)

I've implemented button in Applet, using actionPerformed to make it do some action. Button works when interacting with some of textboxes but no when I try for example to delete a textfile. The code for deleting is correct and works when executed from main method.

How can I make the delete code to be executed after the button is pressed???

Thank for any help.

You wrote about an Applet and a main( ... ) method; Applets don't have a main( ... ) method so I assume you tested your code in an ordinary application where it works while it doesn't work in your Applet. Applets run under a SecurityManager that doesn't allow access to the filing system. Applications can do what they want.

kind regards,

You're welcome of course; there is a way to make your Applet a 'trusted' applet so it can access filing systems on its target host. Google for it because I don't know much about that stuff.
