Please don't paraphrase the error message, but rather when asking here, show the actual error message in its entirety so we don't have to guess what's really wrong. So, speaking of guessing, I'm going to guess now: do you import ActionListener?
Yes your guess was correct. I am now having another problem.
In that line.Code:displayMessage = new JLabel (guiDie1.getMessage()); //cannot find symbol - method getMessage()
Again, please show the entire error message.
Also show the pertinent code. I don't even see where you declare the variable you're using on that line. Your class's code is not fully shown in your post.
Thanks.
Give me an example of showing the entire error message...im confused.Quote:

The full message provides useful info such as the class and line number where it occurs. it also attempts to place the ^ reasonably close to exactly where on the line the error is.
How do you get it show the error message like that? Im using BlueJ.Quote:

This is getting too confusing for me.Code:displayMessage = new JLabel (GVDie1.getMessage());
Where in the GVdie class is the getMessage method?
I changed it due to not correctly naming it in the first place. GVDie is the correct name. Sorry.Quote:

Does it have such a method with the correct signature? The error messages aren't very cryptic and usually tell you exactly what's wrong -- as is the case here.
By compiling on the command line. It has been awhile since I used BlueJ so I cannot remember but most IDE's have a console window (or similar) for displaying messages.Quote:

Well you cannot call a method that does not exist. So either call a method that does exist or change what you are trying to do.
Would anyone be able to help me on MSN or another form of messenger? This project is due tomorrow.
What's wrong with the help you are getting so far?
Nothing there is just more to the code that is wrong and its hard to keep pasting it all here. I dont want it to be confusing. If someone could one on one help me that would be great. There is 4 different classes in this program and im having some trouble linking them all together correctly.Quote:
