Posted by Zach Keatts on November 08, 2001 at 2:38 PM

I figured out, to a degree, how to use the mouse listener with images, but my problem now comes when trying to differentiate objects. the

evt.getSource()

method will only return a JLabel object. I have created a Card object that stores everything in it including the card label. To access the label I wrote something like

JLabel proc;
proc = (JLabel)proc.getLabel();

the problem with this is that when

evt.getSource()

is executed it still returning a label. I was curious if I can flag the object itself so that it will be transferred to the MouseEvent itself. How am I going to be able to access the relevant object when inside the MouseEvent?
