I'm stacked!! I am relatively new to java and I have been days searching the web to solve my problem without success, its now time to ask for your help.

I cannot...(actually do not know) how to change the actionlistener (actionPerformed) after the second click in an array of JButtons. Please find the code below so that you can guide me.

This is how the program performs right now.

On the 1st click on the grid, the border of the button clicked will change to 'blue' and another button will change its boarder to 'red'. on the next click the same action is performed.

What I need is to change action when the 'red' bordered button is clicked, lets say change the color of the buttons from the 'red' to the 'blue' buttons.(x 3 buttons).

The logic about how to perform the final result I think I can do on my own but my problem is how to change the action when the red bordered button is clicked.

Your help is much appreciated!
