I keep recieving an error on lines of code 77-80 and I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong. They're all the same error and goes as follows:
----jGRASP exec: javac -g Program5.java

Here is my code:

       import javax.swing.*;

       public class Program5 extends JFrame
       {

             setTitle("Theatre Revenue ");  
             setSize(windowWidth, windowHeight);

             setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
             setVisible(true);
          }
          private class buttonListener implements ActionListener
          {
             public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
             {
                String adultTickets;
                double adultTicketsNum;
                String adultSales;
                double adultSalesNum;
                String childTickets;
                double childTicketsNum;
                String childSales;

                double totalGross;
                double totalNet;
                double constant = 0.20;


                adultTickets = adultTicketPriceTextField.getText();
                adultSales = adultTicketSoldTextField.getText();
                childTickets = childTicketPriceTextField.getText();
                childSales = childTicketSoldTextField.getText();

                adultTicketsNum = Double.parseDouble(adultTickets);
                adultSalesNum = Double.parseDouble(adultSales);
                childTicketsNum = Double.parseDouble(childTickets);
                childSalesNum = Double.parseDouble(childSales);

                adultGross = adultTicketsNum * adultSalesNum;
                adultNet = adultGross * constant;
                childGross = childTicketsNum * childSalesNum;
                childNet = childGross * constant;
                totalGross = adultGross + childGross;
                totalNet = adultNet + childNet;


                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "The Gross for Adult tickets was " + adultGross + 
                   " The Net for Adult Tickets was " + adultNet + " The Gross for Children Tickets was " +
                   childGross + " The Net for Child Tickets was " + childNet + " The Total Gross was " + 
                   totalGross + " The Total Net was " + totalNet);
             }
          }

       }

Make sure the variables are defined in the same scope (within the same pair of {}s) as where you are trying to use them. They need to be defined at the class level if you are going to reference them in different methods.

So if I move the

            JTextField adultTicketPriceTextField;   
              JTextField adultTicketSoldTextField;
              JTextField childTicketPriceTextField;
              JTextField childTicketSoldTextField;

up above the constructor Program5, I'll be good, right? And also where can I put a main in here because anywhere I put it gives me errors and I can't run without it.

Nevermind, got it. Thanks :D
