How to Call action Listener from Mouse Listener event

Question

One class (class 1)implements mouse listener and responds to a mouse events.
As part of that response it needs to call a variable set method in another class (class 2)and also have that setMethod call it's own ActionPerformed.
Seems the problem is I don't have aaction event to pass
I only have a mouse event. As follows:
class 1
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
int y1=Math.abs(e.getY()-y);
this.sourceReference.setVar(y1);
repaint();
class 2
int var;
public void setVar(int y)
var=y;
this.ActionPerformed(?? ); //This is what I want to do
Same question slightly different.
From class 1 I scould first call the setVar method
and then issue a call to class 2's ActionPerformed.
But again I don't seem to have the proper action event e to pass it.
Thanks

Answer 1

Do you need any information from an ActionEvent that you'd be calling from the MouseEvent (ie the action command, or somethig) or can you just have the actionPerformed method just call a different method that doesn't need an ActionEvent?
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
this.doActionStuff();
public void doActionStuff() {
// does what you want the action event to do
Then from the mousePressed method you can just call the doActionStuff method.
I'm not sure if this helps or not, hope it does.
