Java Help on Calculating Score for jeopardy

[AzWildcats81]

When i i want it to add a certain amount to the intCashEarned varable and then display it, it will just subtract tha amount instead. Im using Ready to Program. Here is some example code of what im talking about.

Object objSource = evt.getSource ();
        //Catagory #1 -- $100
        if (objSource == btn100Cat1)
        {
            sndTheme.play ();
            lblQLine1.setText ("What is the capitol of Canada?");
            lblAnsA.setText ("A: Ottawa");
            lblAnsB.setText ("B: Toronto");
            lblAnsC.setText ("C: Vancouver");
            btn100Cat1.setEnabled (false);
            btnOK.setEnabled (true);
            if (optA.getState ())
                fltCashEarned = 100;
            else
                fltCashEarned = -100;
        }

When they select option button A it just subracts 100 dollars instead of adding it ot the total score.

To view my entire program go here...

you can open it in notepad if you dont have Ready to Program.

As far as I can see you only accumulate scores at the ok button click. How about changing the design a bit ?

        /Catagory #1 -- $100
        if (objSource == btn100Cat1)
        {
            sndTheme.play ();
            lblQLine1.setText ("What is the capitol of Canada?");
            lblAnsA.setText ("A: Ottawa");
            lblAnsB.setText ("B: Toronto");
            lblAnsC.setText ("C: Vancouver");
            btn100Cat1.setEnabled (false);
            btnOK.setEnabled (true);
            accumulateScore (optA.getState (), 100)     
         }
.
.
.
. private int accumulateScore(boolean win, int amount) {
    fltScore += (win) ? amount : -amount;
  }

You should also consider a table driven approach when
you are dealing w. these armies of buttons.

Can you please explain what i should do abit more? I'm abit confused on how to get this to work,

You are doing two things at the same time;
In the actionPerformed you set the question and options
and get retrieve the answer, you sure don't give the contestants much time

WHat you should do was something like this:

define these as applet class variables:

int fltCashEarned;
CheckBox correct;

        if (objSource == btn100Cat1)
        {
            sndTheme.play ();
            lblQLine1.setText ("What is the capitol of Canada?");
            lblAnsA.setText ("A: Ottawa");
            lblAnsB.setText ("B: Toronto");
            lblAnsC.setText ("C: Vancouver");
            btn100Cat1.setEnabled (false);
            btnOK.setEnabled (true);
            correct=optA;    
            fltCashEarned=100;
         }

then when the ok btn is clicked you check that the
optionButton that is selected is the same as correct or
not, and negate the fltCashEarned if not, then you call
the MoneyEarned (); method.

in you code the itemStateChanged does nada.
