Instantiating objects from within listener methods!

Hi Everyone,

I have just finished writing a nice GUI for an application that I am developing. On the GUI there are several JButtons and several JComboBoxes. I have written listener methods for all the afore mentioned, except for one JButton.

The offending JButtons listener method needs to create an object from another entirely different class and I am having trouble doing this.

e.g.:

class GUI(){

.....

JButton buttonCalc = new JButton("Calculate);

.....

GUI()

{

.....

.....

Frame.add(buttonCalc)

.....

.....

.....

.....

buttonCalc.addActionListener(this);

.....

public void actionPerfromed(ActionEvent e)

{

if(e.getActionCommand().equals("Calculate"))

{

//Create an Object from a totally differnet class.

//e.g.:

//CalculateX CalcX = new CalculateX();

}

if(e.get.....

{

....

.....

}

}

class CalculateX{

.....

....

CalculateX{

......

......

}

}

I have tried code like the above but have so far found no success. The above code results in an error message similar to "Class CaclculateX not found in Class GUI".

I get the feeling that this is an issue of scope, however I have no idea how to resolve this.

Any help in creating an object of a different class from within the Listener method of another class (as indicated above) will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
