I want to handle an array of JTextFields to insert in to a TextArea when a given button is pushed.

[Adam Cripps]

I'm having problems conceptually getting my head around how to make my application work.

I have 15 JTextField components and 15 JButton components and 1 JTextArea. I want each button to insert the text inside the textarea from each corresponding textfield.

If you wish to see a graphic to explain this setup -http://i.imgur.com/Vnc3C.png

I've managed to get frame.finaltext to the Curriculum subject class, but it is not seen inside the actionPerformed method.

What is the best way of getting a hold of frame.finaltext.append(textfields[i])

TIA

	// First we want some variables 
	String subjectName;

	public CurriculumSubject (final JReport frame){

		final JTextField [] textfields = new JTextField[15];
		JButton [] buttons = new JButton[15];
	 
		for (int i=0;i<15;i++){
			String content = "This is a test. " + i; 
			textfields[i] = new JTextField(content);
			this.add(textfields[i], "width 500:700:1000");
			buttons[i] = new JButton(">>>");
			buttons[i].addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
				public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
	                //Execute when button is pressed
					String text = textfields[i].getText();
					frame.finaltext.append(text);
	            }});
			buttons[i].setPreferredSize(new Dimension(10,10));  
			this.add(buttons[i]);
