Help with my basic java

Question

Hello i am in a high school programming class and i need help. I have to make an application that draws a basic face, and then i put in different scrollbars, drop menus and checkboxes to control how the face works. I have gotten most of what i need to do but i am stuck on, I need to have a so if i press it they will get closer together of farther apart, which is where im stuck. i can only make them move in the same direction. any ideas???
heres the code.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

     } //thank you if you can solve it

Answer 1

Next time you post code, use the CODE button or [code] and [/code] tags so that it maintains the formatting from your editor.
If two things are moving int the same direction, your adding N to both of their x-coordinates. If you want one to move in one direction and the other in the other direction, then you have to add N to one and -N to the other.
