need help for button

[Max Horstmann]

Hi I need help to give life for a button. Could you tell me how could I call the reset method in the interface class where I replaced the question marks. I tried everything but couldn't make that button work thanks.

interface.java

private JButton getBtnNew() {
if (btnNew == null) {
btnNew = new JButton();
btnNew.setBounds(new Rectangle(3, 200, 130, 20));
btnNew.setText("New Game");
btnNew.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
???reset button????
}
});

Board.java

  
public static void reset(byte[] board) {
//Make squares 0 to 9 unoccupied. 
for (int i = 0; i < 9; i++) {
board[i] = EMPTY ;
    }
}

What have you tried there and what happened? If all the variables are in scope it should be as simple as

reset(board)

shouldn't it?

Thanks for the reply but that didn't work. Didn't I need a field first to call method in different class? Such as;

Board reset;

Board.reset(reset);

Something like this.

Can you pass the Board object to the interface constructor, so that you can save it for when the code needs it?
