Hi,

I am writing a program to change the image of the button when it is clicked and image gets replaced to the original image when the button is clicked again. Have used array of button to do this. I have used integers whose value will continue to change as you keep clicking on these buttons and have been using if else statement in the program. but the issue is that when i click on the first button the image of all the buttons get's changed,which it seems is happening because the value of integer associated with each button get's changed simultaneously. But i have not been able to find any other way to solve this issue. Please advise any appropriate solution to the problem.

Can you post the console output for when you execute the code that shows the printouts?

if(record2%2!=0)

What is the purpose of that statement?

There is a lot of undocumented/unexplained logic in the actionPerformed method.
Can you explain what all that is about? There are many variables and tests that make no sense.
