I am new guys to this web site and obviously the line is till 247. I would like to stop the mouseListener from loop as when i click with the mouse the hoover starts again.

You need to explain how your program works, what what is your expectation, and what is the program is doing outside your expectation... It is tidious for us to look at quite a long code to try to figure out first.

By the way, on Line 73 you did addMouseListener() and implemented the mouse event. You may need to start looking at that part first.
