Help please! I need help putting the timer in the event, and putting it in the class. I am having problems with the class particularly the scoreboard timer. I believe I figured every thing else out..Please view attached.

mport java.text.DecimalFormat;

import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;

import javax.swing.JTextField;


public class scoreboardclock extends Thread

{
    private int counter = 0;
    private boolean running = false;
    private JTextField timerDisplay = null;

    public scoreboardclock(int seconds, JTextField timerDisplay)

    {
        this.counter = seconds;
        this.timerDisplay = timerDisplay;
    }

    public int getCounter()
    {
      return counter;
    }
    
    public void toggle()
    {
      running = !running;
    }
    
    public void run()
    {      
      while (counter > 0)
      {
          DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("00");
          try
          {
            sleep(1000);
          }
          catch (InterruptedException e)
          {
            
          }
          if (running)
          {
            counter--;
            timerDisplay.setText((counter/60) + ":" + df.format(counter%60));
          }
      }
    }
}

I have the same assigment but the files given I already have.
I have been trying to get it to work together for some time now, I have been trying to make a new variable in the frame file but with no luck, should the timer variable look similar the the button ones?
Just not moving forward now so figured it wouldn't hurt to ask the quesiton.

Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
