void saveMenuItem_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

with respect to what exactly?

What is this ding


void saveMenuItem_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

  }

Type o  doing

it does nothing, it is just an empty method.

looks like it is intended to be called by an anonymous inner actionlistener class

eg.

button.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
{
   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
   {
      saveMenuItem_actionPerformed(event);
   }
});

So, event is ?

In the example I gave above it is the event describing the button press.

I thought that.  How would "looks like it is intended to be called by an anonymous inner actionlistener class" That class look?

I posted that above:

button.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
{
   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
   {
      saveMenuItem_actionPerformed(event);
   }
});

I wasn't clear in what I ment. What would be the benefit of placing it in this:

I'm a little unclear tonight!

Hows the project coming along, all the pieces starting to come together?

Yes, for someone that had no idea of how to create the desired outcome, pretty well.  You guys have been great. I will be using your expertise as well as any and all who will help. I will have to hire someone at some point I think! But until then.

Thanks

Good to hear it's all progressing :)

> I will have to hire someone at some point

Keep me in mind ;)

Would you let us try your project after you are finish creating it ?

P.S. The code I entered above is part of a General Public License program that I have been studing to have a better understand code. That is so great that programers are making code like this available to help others.

object I have your web page. I have met someone in India as well.

> I have met someone in India as well.

I could also help but where are you located anyway ?

This program is very specialized. But the concept has potential.

In Southern California. Part of my problem in money. I will have to take that into consideration. I will be on a shoestring buget. The interesting thing about this program is it is tranformable to other areas, and the outcome is sellable as well.

> Part of my problem in money.

A common problem :)

> Part of my problem in money. I will have to take that into consideration. I will be on a shoestring buget.

No worries, I can help in any case, money is not a problem to me since I'm in the philippines. It depends actually on you on
how much you will share for us, at least I can help or add help :)

You can send me the projects and details at my e-mail : jm_soan@go.com

Always there to help . . .
Friend : Javatm

Javatm: The audio section of this will be the trickiest. The whole program is based around it. Do you have audio experience.

objects:    Do you have audio experience as well.

I have an audio experience even if I dont have any I can manipulate it and re - create a whole new set of techniques
that should adopt well in different areas of a given problem.

Before when I dont know how to play music in JFrame because at that time books and many books teaches playing
audio only in an applet. I didnt loose hope because I know there are a lot of ways, so I've debug every pieces of
code in the examples in the JDK which is the Java 2D Demo and that is what I used to get a bunch of
samples to get me started.

Hope that helps . . .
Javatm

I've got some audio experience, drop me an email if you want to discuss further.

Drop of Rain,

weet jij hoe je sysex commands vanuit JAVA naar de synthesiser stuurt (voor mode selectie)?

;JOOP!
