problem with implementing Action Listener, cannot find symbol addActionListener...

[cypher kronis]

this is my full code:

 import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
 
class menu extends JPanel implements ActionListener
{
public menu()
{
addActionListener(this);
}

public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
super.paintComponent(g);
}
 
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){}
} 

as you can see its quite short, and i import awt events, which i think is where action listener is. i make sure to implement it ( and that works fine ) the error comes when i try to call addActionListener(this) in the constructor. can anyone see whats up? thanks for your help..

Hi cypher

The cause is that JPanel does not have addActionListener method. So you can not add a ActionListener to your JPanel.
