button/textfield relationships

[Shorty_tec]

Ok, I'm kinda new at this, but here goes.

I'm writing a program that displays a bank account balance.
There are two textfields. One for the current balance and one for the user
to enter an amount which we'll call cashflow. There are three buttons.
One to deposit, one to withdraw, and one to reset the entire thing. My problem
is that I cannot get the amount in the balance field to change. I put an
amount into the cashflow field and hit any button and nothing happens. I
believe it lies in init. I'm unsure as to where to go with this, and unfortunately,
my teacher is of little help. I'm including my source code, if anyone can
help me that would be great! Bear in mind, there are a few other things
missing yet, but I'll hash those out later.
Thank you everyone and anyone who can help me.



import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class BankAccount extends Applet implements ActionListener {

private int amtEntered, currBalAmt;

private Button deposit, withdrawal, playAgain;

private TextField amtField, currBalField;


public void init() {

this.setFont(new java.awt.Font ("Dialog", 0, 36));

playAgain = new Button (" Play again ");
add(playAgain);
playAgain.addActionListener(this);

deposit = new Button (" Deposit ");
add(deposit);
deposit.addActionListener(this);

withdrawal = new Button ("Withdrawal");
add(withdrawal);
withdrawal.addActionListener(this);

Label line = new Label
("___________________________________________________________");
add(line);

amtField = new TextField(10);
add(amtField);
amtField.addActionListener(this);


currBalField = new TextField(11);
add(currBalField);
currBalField.addActionListener(this);


}



public void paint (Graphics g) {
g.drawString("Amount $" , 30, 150);
g.drawString("Current Balance $" , 700, 150);

if (amtEntered < 0) {
g.drawString ("ERROR, please enter positive amount", 50, 100);
}

if (currBalAmt < 0) {
g.setColor (Color.red);
}

}


public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent event) {

currBalAmt = Integer.parseInt(currBalField.getText());
amtEntered = Integer.parseInt(amtField.getText());


if (event.getSource() == deposit) {
currBalAmt = currBalAmt + amtEntered;
currBalField.setText("" + currBalAmt);

}

if (event.getSource() == withdrawal) {
currBalAmt = currBalAmt - amtEntered;
}

if (event.getSource() == playAgain) {
currBalAmt = 25;
}



repaint();
}
}

Your code that starts with

if (event.getSource() == deposit) {

is correct, because it does setText on some component to change what's
displayed. But the other cases below that code don't setText on anything,
therefore the display doesn't change... which was your problem, right?

Actually, the display doesn't change on anything. even when I use the deposit
button. Nothing works.
