getActionCommand returns a String - the name of the command.
You try to assign that to actionevent - a parameter whose type is ActionEvent, and you can't assign a String to an ActionEvent.
You probably want to define a new String here, as in
String actionEventName = actionevent.getActionCommand();
then use that String in the subsequent code (although I haven't worked out how line 200 works, so I may have missed something here).

nice..tnx James..it solved my problem..ehehe..^_^
