Thread: buttons that call methods

Can't we never learned JPanels, not sure what the teacher would think of that....

I run my programs in eclipse and they run in java applets

Yes it had to do with JApplets

Sorry thats what I meant.

this is where I am at now buttons working they call the methods and repaint. How do I setup button 3 to flip back and forth between my img file and my drawpicture method

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.Random;

I still haven't gotten the toggling between the two methods to work this is turning my hair grey
