getactioncode

[Mark Daniel]

This is my last chance, I am VERY new at this, I am trying to complete a checkerboard array, The code that I have compiles and runs, however I have to put in a getactionsource or something like that to make the clear button clear the field and the colors in the checkerboard back to white. I have attached the code that I have. I am thinking that I have to enter something like

boolean condtion = true;  
 
while(condition) 
 

maybe a try or if statement
then

getactionsource ("clear");  
 
boardDisplay[i].setbackGround(Color.white); 
 

but I am not clear, and I have been trying everything for over a week now and can't get it to work.
please help
Thanks

Get the action command on button click and figure out which button is fixed and perform appropriate actions.

if(e.getActionCommand().equals("Clear")){
    for (int i=0; i<boardDisplay.length; i++){
        boardDisplay[i].setBackground(Color.magenta);
    }
    return;
}
