I need to create an alarm clock, that would sound at a right time
when users compare the clock and type the exact interger within the
edit box... However, I couldn't get the clock showing...so what can I
do?? Please help!!

Here is the codes:

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.util.Date;
import javax.swing.Timer;

public class j27 extends Applet {
AudioClip audClip;
String Msg1=null;
String Msg2=null;
Label info;
TextField box1Text;
TextField box2Text;
Checkbox charTrue;
int myVar1=0, myVar2=1;
Font theFont=new Font("TimesRoman", Font.BOLD, 24); //
Date theDate; //
Thread runner; //

public class Rebound extends Applet
{
private Timer timer;}


public void init() {
info = new Label ("string and integer demo j27.java");
add (info);
box1Text=new TextField("12");
add (box1Text);
box2Text=new TextField("34");
add (box2Text);
Button load=new Button("process");
add (load);
charTrue=new Checkbox ("treat input as text");
add (charTrue);

timer = new Timer (DELAY, new ReboundMouseMouseListener());
timer.start();

}

public boolean action (Event event, Object object) {

if(event.target instanceof Button) {
Msg1=box1Text.getText();
Msg2=box2Text.getText();
if (charTrue.getState() !=true) { //test
for text or integer input
myVar1 = Integer.parseInt (Msg1); //if
integer input convert string
myVar2 = Integer.parseInt (Msg2); }
repaint(); }
return(true);
}

public void start()
{
if (runner == null)
{
runner = new Thread (this); //new thread
runner.start();
}
}

public void stop() {
if(runner!=null) {
runner.stop(); //kill thread
runner = null; }}

public void run()
{
while(true)
{
theDate = new Date();
repaint();
try {Thread.sleep(1000);} //thread sleeping 1 second
catch (InterruptedException e) {}
}
}

public void paint (Graphics g) {

g.setFont(theFont);
g.drawString(theDate.toString(),10,50);

if (Msg1 !=null) g.drawString( "box1=" + Msg1, 30, 140);
if (Msg2 !=null) g.drawString( "box2=" + Msg2, 30, 150);

if (charTrue.getState()==true)
{ //text for text or string
if (Msg1.compareTo(Msg2)==0) g.drawString ("strings match!", 30,
160); }
else
if (myVar1 == myVar2) g.drawString ("integers match!", 30, 170);
else
audClip = getAudioClip(getCodeBase(),"loop.au");
audClip.loop();
}
}
