    Default Re: no constructor found for thread

    new Thread(red); // Red or signal does not implement Runnable
    // Anonymous Thread and Runnable method
            new Thread(new Runnable(){
     
    			@Override
    			public void run() {
    				// Dowork;
     
    			}
     
            });
     
    // Or Signal would need to implement Runnable

    That would at least get it to compile, but I doubt this is the best way to implement what you are trying to do.
