Thread: JButton event handler

//the code works here
[COLOR="#FF0000"]currentPlayersOnTile[players[1].getPosition()].add(players[1].getPlayerIcon());[/COLOR]
 
rollDice.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
{
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
    {
        //but doesn't work here
 
        int roll;
        //get roll
        roll = dice.getRoll());
 
        //adjust player's position
        players[1].movePlayer(roll);
 
        //get player 1's icon and add it to currentPlayersOnTile of index player's position
        [COLOR="#FF0000"]currentPlayersOnTile[players[1].getPosition()].add(players[1].getPlayerIcon());[/COLOR]
    }
});

Could anyone possibly shed some light on this? It's puzzled me for a number of hours now and i need an answer fairly urgently if at all possible. I have also checked it's getting into the handler etc but the line (currentPlayersOnTile[players[1].getPosition()].add(players[1].getPlayerIcon()); ) doesn't seem to execute inside the handler for some reason. Seemingly because its in the addActionListener method. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Graham

doesn't work here

Can you explain what "doesn't work" means?


Try debugging the code by breaking the long chain of methods into single statements and checking that each one is working.

Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:
[code=java]
<YOUR CODE HERE>
[/code]
to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

but nothing happens

Which method in that chain is not doing what is expected?

I'm done for tonight.
