Accessing JRadioButton from another class

[Lyn Arce]

Hi all,
I´m doing an applet with a clock and two radio buttons to select the background color.
I´m not sure how to access the radio buttons in the applet class, I´m trying it with an ActionListener, and setActionCommand,
but I can´t make it work...

Thanks in advance,
Lyn

   import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Clock extends JApplet implements Runnable{
JRadioButton jcolor1;
JRadioButton jcolor2;
JLabel jclock;
boolean animacion;
    
    @Override
public void init() {
this.getContentPane().setLayout(null);
jcolor1=new JRadioButton ("blue", false);
jcolor1.setBounds(50, 150, 100, 40);
jcolor1.setActionCommand("0");

jcolor2=new JRadioButton ("yellow", false);
jcolor2.setBounds(160, 150, 150, 40);
jcolor2.setActionCommand("1");

jclock=new JLabel();
jclock.setBounds(250, 20, 60, 30);
this.getContentPane().add(jcolor1);
this.getContentPane().add(jcolor2);
this.getContentPane().add(jclock);

ButtonGroup bg = new ButtonGroup();
        bg.add(jcolor1);
        bg.add(jcolor2);

jcolor1.addActionListener(new Coloring(this));
jcolor2.addActionListener(new Coloring(this));


Thread t=new Thread(this,"clock");
animation=true;
t.start();
}
public void run(){

while(animation){
Calendar c=Calendar.getInstance();
String hora="";
hora+=c.get(Calendar.HOUR)+":";
hora+=c.get(Calendar.MINUTE)+":";
hora+=c.get(Calendar.SECOND);
jclock.setText(hora);
try{
Thread.sleep(300);
}
catch(InterruptedException e){e.printStackTrace();}
}
}
    @Override
public void start(){
animation=true;
}
    @Override
public void stop(){

animation=false;
}
} 

\\Here is the (problematic) Coloring class

  import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Coloring implements ActionListener{
private Clock r;
private Color[] colors;

public Coloring(Clock r){
this.r=r;

colors =new Color[2];
colore[0]=Color.BLUE;
colore[1]=Color.YELLOW;
}

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){

int selection = r.getSelection().getActionCommand();
r.getContentPane().setBackground(colors[selection]);
}
}

You can use-

radioButton.setActionCommand("String")

and then in the actionPerformed-

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
   String whichRadioButton= e.getActionCommand();
   //And compare the string with the values of the other radio buttons 
   // to find out which cause the event. 
}

Thanks, I got it.
