Hey peeps, could anyone help ?

[snitch321]

ok i have created a method to movea number of objects, but i want to move all of them at the same time(balloons flying is what im aimining for,lol)but they move seperatly?

/**
  * Create method for balloons to fly
  */

 public void slowMoveVertical()

{
    top.slowMoveVertical(-50);
    top2.slowMoveVertical(-50);
    top3.slowMoveVertical(-50);
    middle.slowMoveVertical(-50);
    middle2.slowMoveVertical(-50);
    middle3.slowMoveVertical(-50);
    bottom.slowMoveVertical(-50); 
    bottom2.slowMoveVertical(-50);
    bottom3.slowMoveVertical(-50);
 }

Given that you haven't posted what the slowMoveVertical(int) method you are calling on each does, how could we possibly say?

[snitch321]

alrite lad, calm it.just ask nicely and i shall.

A general suggestion would be to encapsulate postional info in the objects, put the code to update positions in one method, and the code that renders them in another.

You still don't show the Circle or Triangle code, which contain the slowMoveVertical(int) code you are calling.

(And your attitude isn't going to garner an overwhelming desire to help out on this.)

alrite lad, calm it.just ask nicely and i shall.

What? We have no need to "ask nicely". We are not the ones asking for help here. And, it looks as though you aren't going to get any.

oh shut up u puff, stop whining and just get on with it. if you got nothing helpful to say then fuck off!

Look who's talking.

Not getting much help are you?

I wonder why that is?

Your attitude, maybe?

[snitch321]

lol, havnt u got anything better to do u loser.ahh is this ur whole life,bless. i could easily complete this task myself, but thought i'd get someone else to check it out for me first.

[masijade]

i could easily complete this task myself,

Yeah, right. Let me guess you have a few bridges to sell, too, right?

but thought i'd get someone else to check it out for me first.

Rather, you thought you'd try and get someone else to do your (home)work for you. The usual lazy, ungrateful, overbearing, obnoxious, kid. You come a dime a dozen (and over priced at that).

No, it's not our whole life, but many of us do volunteer a lot of time trying to help those who genuinely wish to learn to program. Some do come along though who only wish for someone else to do their thinking for them and the worst of them have a misguided sense of entitlement. Those individuals really don't even deserve the time it takes to type a response.

Obviously, you cannot easily complete this task or you would have done so by now without help. Good luck finding some assistance with it elsewhere.

[snitch321]

yes your right guys, sry about my immature behaviour, i apologize.you guys are trying to help me out at the end of the day. I understand if you dont help me , but i ask whether someone could help me out with this problem?
