I know all that already, but it doesn't explain how I can get the image from a different package in the same project...

getClass().getResource(...)

package OtherApp:
icon.jpg


package...

I have 1 package that manages the main JFrame of my application.
This JFrame needs to access an image (which is a resource) of another package.

I was able to get it to work using:

Thread.join() Waits for this thread to die. (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Thread.html#join%28%29)

Just think about what this thread does.
It does something in a while...

Let me just show you a little quirk I have with your code, and let me note that the way you are doing it can work, but there's a better way.... it will make it easier for you, and me, and anyone else...

Glad you got it working :).

Let me show you how I did it with minimal code added to the SecTimer class:


import java.util.Timer;

public class SecTimer {

What do you mean Player = one.setHand()? "one" is already a player right? and "one" already exists in the main game.... "Player =" ??

one.setHand(Hand hand); would set the hand.
one.getHand();...

First, your function getHand() is a little misleading.

When you "get"Something(), it should always return the value of the Something, in that class.
Likewise, when you "set"Something() (what you...

From the code I gave you up top, take out the main method, then make a Class which extends JApplet that calls the new Class() that I gave you in its constructor.

Thats it... It only takes 2...

The whole painting on 1 canvas isn't really java oo, but i guess its still doable if your hard pressed on doing it that way.

Point p = new Point(Number.x, Number.y);

This piece of code isnt right for many reasons...

@Override
public void run() {

Thread runnable = new Thread(new TimerThreads()); //what does this do?
runnable.start();

I'll do you 1 better. I spit this out in a few minutes from some older source code I had.


import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.GridLayout;...

Wheres the subclass?

You are not overriding run() because SecTimer does not extend Thread or implement Runnable..

And what is this:
Runnable runnable = new TimerThreads();
runnable.run();

I see what your doing. You are drawing everything using the Applets paint() function. Opps on my part -- I didn't bother to look :)

Java is object oriented. I would have made each box an object...

I came across something called:
JIntellitype (http://melloware.com/products/jintellitype/index.html)

Its basically a java package which includes a (.dll) library and a HotkeyListener which...

That was for the previous post.

Maybe a combination of a JButton and a JTextField. The JButton would use an ActionListener, when clicked, a JTextField would be placed in its place which is...

I would make a class called Box which extends any kind of Container (a simple one at most, maybe even Container itself). Something like a JTextArea wouldn't really work out since you can only add...

I'm making an app that, when executed will continue to do something in an infinite loop, forever (or until the process is manually stopped).

My goal is to create a process with a unique name which...

You want to open an applet using another applet? It would make sense for an Applet to open a JFrame or a JFrame to open another JFrame, but not for an Applet which opens another Applet.... Applets...

Got it. Just a little more research and I found this:

Point mPoint = MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation();

I noticed that the Robot class gives you functions to move and click the mouse. Is there a way to get the position the mouse is currently in or am I missing something? Remember, im talking about on...

All the thread would have to do is sleep for a second then call the function tick() .

tick() would increment SecTimer's sec, min, or hour vars depending on what the values already are.

You are the man Ezzaral. Any time I try to do something unconventional with java, you always have an answer :).

I will try this out now!

Yep. Ive used it before. I was just wondering if there was a way to do it in java without having a JFrame open in order for it to recognizes a component.

I'm trying to make an app that will memorize 1 point on the screen and continuously click that point (running on a timer) until it is manually stopped.

I've noticed that the mouse functions...

Why not use the windows shortcut hotkey to run your java program? All you have to do is create a shortcut and define it a hotkey which will cause it to start. You can have your app automatically...

Every player has a Hand which could be:
A rock, A paper, or A scissor

Every player could have:

Excellent. Thank you Ezzaral. You've been a great help. I've never used System.getProperty() until now. This will be very useful.

I've also took your function a little further and modified it into...

Thanks Ezzaral.

I'm a little unsure of how I would extract just that 1 file, but I guess its necessary.

Is there a better way I can get an absolute path to a file without using that junky...

Threads were a real tease for me cause I learned of them on my own too.

1 thing that will help you understand is that a Thread need only contain 1 function and an optional constructor.

Ok, this one is a little tough for me to explain.

I have a runnable jar file that contains a .exe that I'm trying to exec in my program like a command line function.

Usually to execute a .exe...

hmm... well thats funny..

You are correct.. Here I specified the cmd with 2 \'s, but ur way also works when line is given as a paramater, using only 1 \'s.

I guess java automatically throws in...

String line = "Extracting from E:\\Junk\\morejunk\\file.txt";
System.out.println(line); //prints: Extracting from E:\Junk\morejunk\file.txt

String[] splitPath =...

and how did you create the clip?

I only skimmed over your code.

I sometimes use a class called Global which contains a list of functions defined statically. Any class can then call Global.function(arg0) on any of the Global...

You also need try catch statements to catch the exceptions when someone enters something wrong. I wish ya the best of luck.

I'm going to give you what I did in a nutshell. Try to study it so you can better understand the better way of doing it.
