Event handling - output doubled?!

Question

hi, i'm trying to implement some event handling through an extension of the MouseAdapter class, but the output comes out twice for some reason. code is as follows:
note: for some reason an 'i' enclosed in square brackets isn't shown in these forums, but makes things italic... any idea how to change that?!
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
p = e.getPoint() ;
for(int i = 0 ; i < myproj.length ; i++)
rect = myproj.getDshape() ;
System.out.println(rect.toString()) ;
if (rect.contains(p))
System.out.println(i) ;
System.out.println(myproj.length) ;
System.out.println("clicked one!") ;
System.out.println(p.toString()) ;
System.out.println(myproj[i].getDname() + " : " + myproj[i].getStrength() + " : " + myproj[i].getDom()) ;
wanted++ ;
System.out.println("Count: " + counter) ;
counter++ ;
} // end class MyEventHandler
however, when i click in one of the 2 rectangles on my applet, the following output is printed:
java.awt.Rectangle[x=521,y=50,width=25,height=25]
0
2
clicked one!
java.awt.Point[x=541,y=62]
tom : 4.51 : 1
Count: 0
java.awt.Rectangle[x=571,y=80,width=25,height=25]
java.awt.Rectangle[x=521,y=50,width=25,height=25]
0
2
clicked one!
java.awt.Point[x=541,y=62]
tom : 4.51 : 1
Count: 1
java.awt.Rectangle[x=571,y=80,width=25,height=25]
anyone got any ideas why it does this twice? i have also tried this with mousepressed and mousereleased as well as mouseclicked, but the same occurs...

Answer 1

You're probably adding the mouseListener to your component twice, but you don't show that part of the code so it's hard to tell for sure.
'i' enclosed in square brackets isn't shown in these forums, but makes things italicClick on the help link at the top of the page. It explains some formatting codes you can use to make your code easier to read.
... - italic
... - highlights java keywords and comments
