quick question about mouseMove()

So i have in my applet:

Code:

---

public boolean mouseMove (Event e, int mx, int my){
        mousex = mx;
        mousey = my;
        return true;
}

---

Is there a way to make it so it only calls synchronized with my thread? Because it calls itself too many times per second, faster then my game´s frames per second. :(nerd):

FWIW, that method is deprecated as of java 1.1! Read the API docs on the methods you are using, and use a light weight component and a mouse motion listener, and post an SSCCE that demonstrates the problem

What does deprecated mean? Also what is SSCCE :(-:

It means it is no longer supported and you should use the method that replaces it instead.

What happened when you typed that into Google?

Short, Self Contained, Correct Example

I looked at the tutorial but it only has the mouselistener within the main class for the applet. I want to make it so i have a separate class and it connects WITH the main class.

but the problem is that i dont know how to do that when i already have a " extends Applet implements Runnable" in my main class

I'm sorry, but I don't fully understand your current problem. Could you clarify it a bit, give us more information and even code? The best code would be an SSCCE if possible.

Okay so I have in my first main class for my applet:

Code:

---

public class Main extends Applet implements Runnable{
      //run, init, start, blah blah blah
}

---

I want to create a separate class to detect mouse coordinates and buttons and stuff and then send that information back to my Main class. But I dont know how to:^):

Create a class that extends JPanel and have it implement the mouse listener interface.
Add the methods to that class that are required by the listener interface.
Add an instance of that class to a container like your JFrame.
Give that class the focus so it will receive the mouse events.

Edit: Nrvmd fixed it thanks

Shouldn't that be nvrmd?
What is nrvmd?

yes its nvrmd. just a typo

So I fixed it but now if I want it to work I have to launch/run it from my MouseListener class instead of my Main class:

Code:

---

public class Main extends Applet implements Runnable{
    // init, start, run, blah....

}

---

Code:

---

public class Input extends Main implements KeyListener, MouseMotionListener, MouseListener {
        public void init(){
                addKeyListener(this);
                addMouseMotionListener(this);
                addMouseListener(this);
        }
        //other blah blah...
}

---

If i try running the program from my Main class it wont include the Input class. :(doh):

What is the "it"? The class Main is an Applet.

Why are you defining a class as an extension to your Main class?

What are you putting on the <APPLET tag's CODE= attribute?

Can you post a small program that compiles and executes and shows the problem. Your small pieces of code don't show enough

Okay i made a small program that demonstrates my problem.



The IT is just my program itself .This is my Main class where I want to just run it and it will run everything and start the game.

Code:

---

import java.applet.Applet;


@SuppressWarnings("serial")
public class s extends Applet implements Runnable{

        public void run() {
        }
}

---

My game has an Input class that detects all the keyboard and mouse actions. This is it:

Code:

---

import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;

@SuppressWarnings("serial")
public class Input extends s implements KeyListener {
        public void init(){
                super.init();
                addKeyListener(this);
        }
        public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
                System.out.println("YOU PRESSED A KEY");
            e.consume();
        }
        public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
            e.consume();
        }
        public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
                e.consume();
        }
}

---

When I try running my program from my Main class it will not incorporate the Input class and thus will not show the "YOU PRESSED A KEY". But if I run it from my Input class it WILL work. I just need my program to work by having it start running from my Main class instead of my Input class.

How do you expect it to, There is no reference to the Input class in s class.
Why do you have the two classes?

So how do I make it a reference to Input class?

Input input = new Input(); // create an instance and get a reference

Okay but thats for handling it like an Object is there no way to make Input run automatically when the Main class is ran?

The browser can only create and call one class. After that it is up to you to create and call the classes you want to use.
