How to set same action event for array of JButtons
I have a 2D array of JButtons, and a method that I want each JButton to run. The method's argument is to be the JButton's name.
Rather than make an event for each JButton, is there a way that I can set the same event for each JButton in the array using a for loop or something? It just seems like there is a better way to do it than to have 30 different actionEvents...

ActionListener listener = new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
myMethod(event.getActionCommand());
}
});
for (int i=0; i<buttons.length; i++) {
buttons[i].addActionListener(listener);
}public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent me){
int btnNumber = -1;
for(int j=0; j<buttons.length; j+=){
if(me.getSource().equals(b
btnNumber = j;
break;
}
btnNumber - is index of your button
}
Of course you can have the same for 2-dimensional array of buttons

I'm sorry, but I'm still having trouble with this. I'm attaching my code so you can show me first hand. I cleaned out my mistakes so you can read it clearly.
The method I want to use is on line 145, and what I am trying to avoid doing begins at line 175.
Thanks for your help, and sorry for any incompetence on my part.
