Update for anyone still willing to help:
I've stopped getting the error for the class now but still no moving circle. Heres what I did to get rid of my error. My MouseMove code looks just the same but instead I've added repaint() Please help!

public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
    {
        Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
        g.setColor (Color.red);
        playerCounter = new Ellipse2D.Double(30,30,30,30);
        setVisible(true);

       if (playerCounter != null){
            g2.draw(playerCounter);
        }
    }

This is what I had for my class circle component excluding your if statement:

package mypackage;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import javax.swing.JComponent;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.geom.Ellipse2D;

public class CircleComponent extends JComponent
{

    public CircleComponent() { }

    private Ellipse2D.Double playerCounter;
    private int xpos1 = 10;
    private int ypos2 = 10;
    private int width = 10;
    private int height = 10;

    public CircleComponent(int w, int h, int x, int y)
    {
        width = w;
        height = h;
        xpos1 = x;
        ypos2 = y;
    }

    public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
    {
        g.setColor (Color.red);
        playerCounter = new Ellipse2D.Double(30,30,30,30);
        setVisible(true);

        if (playerCounter != null){
            playerCounter.draw(g);
        }

    }
}

now I get a connot find symbol error for the .draw part. I think that it because I used Ellipse?

I'm trying to make a circle appear from a class I've developed to move following the x co-ordinate of the mouse. I've done that part correctly, it's just loading the class...Can anyone tell me why it isn't loading?

I do love to solve problems myself but I've been working on this for a long time and I think it might be a silly mistake, I'm new to Java so I would really appreciate the help.

class MouseMovedListener implements MouseMotionListener
{
    public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e)
    {

         xposcounter = e.getX();

         for(int i = 0; i <= grid.length; i++)
         {
              //Get the left hand side position of the grid
              int leftxpos = pCenter.getWidth()/2 - ((GapConstant*(grid.length+6)+(grid.length*rw))/2) + rw*i + GapConstant*i;
              
              //Get the right hand side position of the grid
              int rightxpos = pCenter.getWidth()/2 + ((GapConstant*(grid.length+6)+(grid.length*rw))/2) +rw*i + GapConstant*i;

                    //Show the counter appearing above the columns the mouse is over
                    if(xposcounter > leftxpos && xposcounter < rightxpos)
                    {
                        //Load the circle
                         CircleComponent mycounter = new CircleComponent();
                         
                    }
         }
    }

If you need to see the class code just ask...Thanks in advance for anyone who helps!

There isn't exactly anything wrong with my code, it's fine although the order isn't correct, I think, which makes my shapes appear behind the center panel. I'm not sure how to correct this as I've drawn my shapes under a paint method.

I've tried moving the paint method before and after the initialising method and repainted in either methods but it will then present only one or the other; the combos/txts, etc or the shapes.

So at the moment I've positioned the shape method after the initialising method and have not repainted in neither methods. The shapes will only appear if I resize the applet, why is that?

-Sorry about all of the comments and thanks to anyone that helps
