Okay, I feel like I busted something in my head because I can't figure out anything in Java anymore! I just confused the crap out of myself, and I can't seem to get back on the horse. What I'm trying to do is read from a text file to create a picture. Each picture has shapes, and it makes them dance. I'm using the DrawingPanel class to help create the circle. My driver class reads commands to create the pictures from the text document; I had my shape working just fine, but I messed with it and confused myself all day. Now I can't undo all the different changes I've made : ( So yes, the driver reads info and will put into an arraylist I will make. Circle is the shape I am trying out, and it seems easy enough, yet I'm getting thrown somehow. Below is the class that confirms my circle flipping works, then my circle class, then my class I created to work the file. I'm not necessarily looking for you guys to come in and save the day with all the code; I'm certainly fine with ideas that point me in the right direction. Thank you for the help; I really do appreciate it.

Then here is my circle class that extends Shape. I plan on adding different shapes as well.

{

}

//Scale
scalex = size/2;
scaley = size/4;
//Draw the oval
g.drawOval(x, y, inx, iny);
}
public void dance(Graphics g, int inX, int inY, int maxX, int maxY){
g.drawOval(circleX, y, inY, inY);
circleX = circleX+1;
}
//first two location and second two are w and h
