@all the great programmers in the house, i want to develop an application that changes the display of a label, something like a question and answer thing, i will click a next button, and it will change the texts in the label, i tried to use a string array to hold the texts which i split according usin the scanner class,and store the splitted string in other arrays ,used a button that implements the actionlistener interface, i tried to use a for loop to increase my count but the label is not moving as i thought, i tried that using the card layout but it has to be changing too many panels which may be too robust for the program,pls programmers in the house help. thanks

Paste your code

java or actionscript? why not post your code

I can decipher Java.Be elaborate and explicit.In SWT,I will use Stack layout,in SWING,card layout is right.I know what you are talking about.Something like objective questions interface.

yeah something like an objective question interface, someone said i could use a database at d back end,retrieve d questns into a resultset object n display d text using a counter...

Array and Global counter will do. I think more important is to be able to track the state of your counter.

You can read the question from a file or a database.

Add a next and back button whose actionlistener or selectionlister will use the array index to navigate the question and display on the interface while sliding through your stacklayout or cardlayout.I did something like that,an instruction material for primary school for someone.

I was able to use card layout but i want a flexible method,the card layout cannot be updated easily like a data file or database.
I used the java derby database n i think retrieving d questions and answers into a result set,splitting it into string arrays n traversing d array is more or less the same as using a datafile... Here is my code dt uses the split method of d scanner class:
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event;
import java.io.*;

public class Quest extends JFrame implements ActionListener,Serializable{

int counter=0;
File file=new File("questdata.txt"
Scanner sc=null;
String []question=null;
public Quest(){
super("Question and Answers";
setSize(300,300);
setVisible(true);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

JLabel questLabel=new JLabel(question[i]);
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt){
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Quest que=new Quest();
}
}
I'll add the remaining part,I wrote this on my phone..
Thanks to all n everyone 4ur responses... i'll try this n add my remaining codes...

the problem is already solved. thanks.

Would you like to have sound incorporated into the program?

Post on my thread if so

sealteam66: Would you like to have sound incorporated into the program?

Post on my thread if so

that is interesting? do u have any API for that or you created it? I will be interested in such as it wil enable blind ppl d benefit of taking d test.

Java has an API in Java 7 for sound. Check it out.

I need to port to jdk7.0 b that om thanks.

If you are interested in having sound incorporated in your programme, post on my thread

You create the sound file and your java programme will read it, also you don't need API just the sun audio import for netbean, I can give you a

sound recorder - so you can use your laptop to create the sound files, or for premium quality go to a sound studio
