12 classes, only need 1 at a time, array?how? HELP!

Below i have made up the months of the year but as you can see the gridlayout changes for each one which is why i made them up like so.
I want to make up an array to hold them and only call them when needed.
The problem is that if i do that my code will be to long, is their a way of croping them down as 12 methods plus extra decades :-(
I have thought of making up extra java files to hold each 12 months but i not sure how to call them in, I think i use import mar.*;
To be truthfull i'm a bit losed
public void mar(){
JPanel control2panel = new JPanel();
JPanel days =new JPanel();
days.setLayout(new GridLayout(6,7));
for(int x=0;x<5;x++){
JLabel blank = new JLabel("");
days.add(blank);
int i =1;
for(int x =0; x < 31; x++){
JButton nextButton = new JButton(String.valueOf(i));
nextButton.addActionListener(this);
days.add(nextButton);
++i;
for(int x=0;x<6;x++){
JLabel blank = new JLabel("");
days.add(blank);
control2panel.add(days);
getContentPane().add(control2panel,"Center");
pack();
public void apr(){
JPanel control2panel = new JPanel();
JPanel days =new JPanel();
days.setLayout(new GridLayout(5,7));
for(int x=0;x<1;x++){
JLabel blank = new JLabel("");
days.add(blank);
int i =1;
for (int x =0; x < 30; x++){
JButton nextButton = new JButton(String.valueOf(i));
nextButton.addActionListener(this);
days.add(nextButton);
++i;
control2panel.add(days);
getContentPane().add(control2panel,"Center");
pack();
}

Thanks for the help vanangrani, your info is ok.
This is a small bit of the code that i'm working on, have a look at the month methods. I have embedded one for show you how it should look but its static, I need to make up a method to load one month method only when selected from the menuItem.
He's the code anyway.

  • I found multiple apps., of Firefox, Mozilla Firefox applications. I only need version 16.0. How can I delete all other versions??

    My program files on both Drives C and E, show only one version of Firefox, but I saw 3 other applications called FIREFOX, MOZILLA FIREFOX, AND ANOTHER FIREFOX. I wanted Firefox version 16.0, downloaded it, but now see a Version 24.0 that I didn't download, thus, these numerous applications are using massive amounts of disc space. Please advise the best way of getting rid of all the others and keeping only version 16.0.
    Thanks, GoldenGirl147

    You should only be using Firefox 24, Firefox 16 is insecure and not support anymore.

  • 'You shut down the computer because of a problem'. Mbp constant black screen crashing, can only hard reboot each time. Please help, latest report here...

    Hi for the last few months my mbp seems to randomly crashing to black screen at seemingly unrelated times. Most frequent are after periods of sleep and sometimes when web pages such as youtube load. This crashing is getting more and more frequent and when it occurs only a hard reset with the power button has any effect. The screen goes completely black, no backlight, no keys work, the fans keep going and if there was a song/video playing it starts looping the last note/second of noise over and over until the laptop is reset. My worry is that if i take it to the apple store, it will decide not to crash on that day which would drive me insane as its been happening all the time.
    I've sent lots of 'reports' off to apple and saved numerous panic reports, here is the latest one:

    Any information on why this is happening would be so so so appreciated as losing all your work in a blink of an eye is unbelievably rage inducing.
    Thank you!

    You have the MacBookPro6,2—the Edsel of Macs. It may have the logic-board defect that was covered by a recall program that has now ended.
    Residents of the EU may be entitled to warranty service for up to six years after purchase.
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers do not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue that Apple calls "VST" (for "Video Switching Test.") Ask for it. A "Failed" result means that the fault is present.
    You may be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a "depot repair," which involves shipping the unit to a central repair facility and takes about two weeks. For that flat fee, anything found wrong with it should be fixed, not just the logic board.
    Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility. If you decide to pay for a new logic board, test thoroughly during the 90-day warranty period on the repair. Some owners have reported that they went through as many as three replacement boards before getting one that worked.
    If you don't want to pay for the repair, you may (or may not) be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching. To use the discrete graphics processor, you'll need a third-party utility to switch to it manually.
    Often the problems start after an OS upgrade. If the upgrade was recent, and you have backups, then you can revert to a previous OS X version.

  • Time Machine getting real-only error on 2TB Time Capsule --- Please Help

    Hi,
    My MacPro is running 10.6.2. I bought a 2TB Time Capsule on August 1st, 2009. The TC has been running okay, but painfully slow. On Tuesday, Nov 24th, 2009, the Time Machine reported that the TC is read-only now. I've spent 5 days, including Thanksgiving Day, researching and trying to resolve this problem. To my surprise this problem goes back several years.
    I have tried all the solutions without success. I cannot afford to lose the sparse bundle on TC --- it's 1.56TB in size.
    My home/office LAN includes a Linksys BEFSR81 Router, 2TB Time Capsule, an iMac G5, and my MacPro. That's all there is. The router is connect to the Internet through a Comcast Cable.
    The TC was configured using the Airport Utility. The password is set at the TC level. The password is also set "Guests" (something I found in my research). Wireless is turned off because I'm using an Ethernet LAN.
    Now the following is very Strange!!!
    (1) Click on MacPro in the side bar. The Data disk is shown with a "lock" in the icon. It has only one permission: Everyone "No Access". I'm unable to change the permission.
    (2) Click on the boot drive and make invisible files visible. Expand Volumes. Get Indo on the Data "folder". The permissions are:
    everyone - read/write
    don (Me) - read/write
    admin - read/write
    everyone - read only
    There are 2 "everyone" entries!!! I can't remove either of them. I wonder if the second "everyone" is the problem?
    Does anyone have any suggestions how to fix this read-only problem?
    Is there a bug in the firmware? My TC version is 7.4.2.
    Please help!
    Thank you,
    Don Leckie

    Disk Utility didn't report any errors. I checked the log too.
    The disk "Data" in TimeCapsule can be opened using the Finder.
    The sparsebundle for the MacPro can be opened and each backup folder is accessible and can be written to. But TimeMachine still says that the TimeCapsule is read-only.
    The sparsebundle for the iMac G5 cannot be opened from the Finder. The error message is that I don't have sufficient privileges. Trying from both the MacPro and iMac G5. TimeMachine still says the TimeCapsule is read-only.
    I tried using fsck_hfs to try fixing the permissions. But I got the message that the disk Data was not a character device; whatever that implies.
    Tomorrow I'm putting a call into Apple Support.
    Thank you for your help!

  • Do I only need the Virtual Mach. to run applets ?

    Hello
    I have installed the latest Virtual Machine but my applet
    doesn't run when called from a HTML file.
    Do I need to install more ? Are the JAVA .class files needed at runtime or are these only needed at compile
    time ?
    Thanks for your help.

    Well there is an app. called HTMLConverter... it's a Java program and converts a html document, containing an <APPLET> tag, to a version that uses the JRE of Sun as default...
    I hope this helped!

  • I have 2 iphones, one for personal and one for business.  I need my phones not to sync otherwise they will both ring all the time.  How can I log out of my icloud and unsync my phones?

    I have 2 iphones, one for personal and one for business.  I need my phones not to sync otherwise they will both ring all the time.  How can I log out of my icloud and unsync my phones?

    Syncing your phones to the same iCloud account won't cause them to both ring all the time, it only puts the same contacts, calendars, and other synced data on the phone.  The phones will only ring with someone calls the number associated with the phone.
    If you want to stop using iCloud on one or both of the phones, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then choose Keep On My iPhone when prompted.  This will disconnect them from iCloud and keep a copy of the synced data on the phone.

  • How do I return to iCLoud a playlist of 80 songs that I downloaded from iCloud to my MacBook? I only need the songs downloaded temporarily due to no WiFi. I want to keep the playlist in iCloud; just don't want them downloaded

    How do I return (to iCloud from MacBook Pro) a playlist of 80 songs that I downloaded? I only needed the songs downloaded temporarily due to no WiFi. I want to keep the playlist in iCloud; just don't want them downloaded. I know how to delete songs, but is there  a way to just "undo" and return songs to iCloud and maintain existing playlist on MacBook?

    Use Flash Media Server to stream the files.......set up a timer and have all three of them play at once....and have a button switch the streams depending upon which stream you want to play.....and wallah......
    you can also capture the stream.time from the video playing and resume from that point on the other videos as well....havent done this theoretically so I dont know how smooth the transistion between streams will be....but it can be done....
    plus u may have to use double buffering techniques to make sure it starts up right away......

    HI daddio,
    Ok some things first I need to know...Did you use Microsoft cleanup utility to clean up all those uninstalls you have done?
    I hate Norton and anyone who reads my posts will know that. I have seen way too many infected PC's by Norton users. Did you try the EWIDO and AdAware scan? I see you said you read lots of posts. That is helping folks remove the malware in order to get iTunes and quicktime back to health.

  • I just downloaded Firefox on my maxpro and now I have 3 (three) icons on my desktop. if I only need one icon, how do I get rid of the other 2? Thank you.

    When I was trying to download, I wasn't certain whether I was being "prompted" to attach the firefox icon to my application folder. When I didn't see the icon in the folder, I tried again - probably a total of 3 times. I searched my application folder and finally found firefox - it was in the form of a piece of paper - when I clicked on the paper the 3 icons appeared on my desktop. I surmised that I had successfully downloaded firefox 3 times...but I really don't trust myself in deleting 2...lest I thereby delete all of the download completely. Further, if it is safe to delete 2, is it enough to simply press the delete button over the icons to be removed or do I have todo something else?

    You only need a Firefox icon, which you drag to the Applications folder alias after downloading the Firefox .dmg file.
    Once the "Firefox" icon is inside the actual Applications folder, all other icons can be moved to the trash, including the Firefox .dmg installer, which looks like a piece of paper. The Firefox disk image, which looks like an external hard drive or Flash drive icon, should be ejected.
    See
    [[Installing Firefox on Mac]] for details.
