I think you dint posted the entire code..
Also attach your output screenshot if possible..

Do you want it to keep on showing a new random face at regular intervals?
If so, use a javax.swing.Timer to call your roll() method with a suitable interval:

the code must keep the die keeps on rolling when the roll has been click and it will just stop if the stopb button i s clicked.
but my code just roll the dice when it is clicked.
please modify it. thank you for your help.

No, that's not how it works here. Nobody is going to do your homework for you.
I gave you some pointers in my last post. Now its up to you to do some work. Check out the timer class I told you about. Read the tutorial I linked to. Learn how to code this for yourself.

No James, you may be misunderstanding. That's not what it should be. The person wants a user to click on "roll" button to start rolling and then click on "stop" button to stop the roll right away. So Timer should not be used in here.
The problem is in RollDicePanel's actionPerformed() method content. Currently, you just call the "roll()" regardless which button is clicked. You need to modify it by checking which button (source) is being called. Read this tutorial http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/events/intro.html and try to understand how to work with events from actionPerformed().
JamesCherrill 4,733 Most Valuable Poster Team Colleague Featured Poster
OK, but what code needs to be executing between the roll and the stop button events? That's an animation and it needs a timer. You can't just leave it to run at whatever speed your CPU goes at. The roll button just starts the timer and the stop button stops it.
Taywin 312 Posting Virtuoso
I think the OP got the code from his/her instructor. The Timer would definitely enhance the display, but that is up to the OP. If the requirement doesn't require the enhancement, then it would not be necessary for now. :)
JamesCherrill 4,733 Most Valuable Poster Team Colleague Featured Poster
So what are you suggesting to achieve "the die keeps on rolling when the roll has been click"?
You can't call roll() in a loop without starting a new thread. You can't use a simple loop without some kind of timing because it will run at a frenzied and unpredictable speed. You shouldn't put sleep calls in to slow down the loop because that's just bad Swing practice.
There's really one one sensible way to do this and that's for the roll button to start a timer that calls roll() regularly until the stop button is pressed.
... but seriously, if you have another solution in mind it would be interesting to share it.
Taywin 312 Posting Virtuoso
Oh, you are right. I thought the person has already gotten it rolling and wants to stop it. Sorry.
PS: The OP could implement his/her own thread inside to display animation, but that would be too difficult for now.
