in this program i have to use listners, and radio buttons and buttons....right now i am doing the first part of the program where when the user selects the radio button for circle two circles appear on the screen.....

import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class shapes
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		JFrame frame= new JFrame("Shapes and Colors");
		frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		
		frame.getContentPane().add(new ShapesPanel());
		
		frame.pack();
		frame.setVisible(true);
	}
}

4 errors

i know the reason for the square error because i havent created the class for it yet....

Look how you have defined the draw method in your Circle class, and how you are calling it.

About the "square1" error you have declared it correctly at the ShapesPanel class but you are using inside the private ButtonListener class.
Maybe you should do this:

public class ShapesPanel extends JPanel implements ActionListener {
  public ShapesPanel() {
      ....
      circle.addActionListener (this);
      square.addActionListener (this);
  }  


public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent event)
      { 	
		  		if (event.getSource() == circle)
        	 	{
			   	circle1.draw();
					circle2.draw();
				}
				
         	else
				{
					square1.draw();
					square2.draw();
				}  
      }
}

This is my program now still wont work

lol ignore the comments

The program doesn't work because you haven't followed ny instructions:

public class ShapesPanel extends JPanel implements ActionListener {
  public ShapesPanel() {
      ....
      circle.addActionListener (this);
      square.addActionListener (this);
  }  


public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent event)
      { 	
		  		if (event.getSource() == circle)
        	 	{
..
				}
				
         	else
				{
				..
				}  
      }
}

ShapesPanel is the one that implements the ActionListener and that is the one that needs to implement the actionPerformed method and that class ( this ) would be the input to the addActionListener.
