Java Error

Jeefer · **Posted:** Tue May 18, 2004 1:59 pm

I'm trying to get a class to call a class, although it keeps coming up with the error:

Quote:

The method "draw" is not static, and cannot be accessed in this static context.

I'm not sure what to change though inorder to fix this error...

Here is the method that it keeps coming up in: (it comes up at each of the instances of [b] drawcard.draw(number, xposition, yposition);

code:

public void Shuffle ()
{
int number = -1;
int count = 0;
drawCards blah = new drawCards (c);
while (true)
{
number = (int) (Math.floor (Math.random () * 13));
if (number == 0 && counter_sorry != 4)
{
counter_sorry++;
count++;
drawCards.draw (0, 100, 100);
}
else if (number == 1 && counter_one != 5)
{
counter_one++;
count++;
drawCards.draw (1, 100, 100);
}
else if (number == 2 && counter_two != 4)
{
counter_two++;
count++;
drawCards.draw (2, 100, 100);
}
else if (number == 3 && counter_three != 4)
{
counter_three++;
count++;
drawCards.draw (3, 100, 100);
}
else if (number == 4 && counter_four != 4)
{
counter_four++;
count++;
drawCards.draw (4, 100, 100);
}
else if (number == 5 && counter_five != 4)
{
counter_five++;
count++;
drawCards.draw (5, 100, 100);
}
else if (number == 7 && counter_seven != 4)
{
counter_seven++;
count++;
drawCards.draw (7, 100, 100);
}
else if (number == 8 && counter_eight != 4)
{
counter_eight++;
count++;
drawCards.draw (8, 100, 100);
}
else if (number == 10 && counter_ten != 4)
{
counter_ten++;
count++;
drawCards.draw (10, 100, 100);
}
else if (number == 11 && counter_eleven != 4)
{
counter_eleven++;
count++;
drawCards.draw (11, 100, 100);
}
else if (number == 12 && counter_twelve != 4)
{
counter_twelve++;
count++;
drawCards.draw (12, 100, 100);
}

if (count == 45)
{
break;
}
}

the class that it is calling is:

code:

public void draw (int number, int xPosition, int yPosition)
{
int count = 0;
Color orange = new Color (255, 132, 9);
c.setColor (orange);
c.fillRect (xPosition, yPosition, 100, 175); //card
c.setColor (Color.black);
c.drawRect (xPosition, yPosition, 100, 175); //card
while (true)
{
card (number, xPosition, yPosition);
}
}

public void card (int number, int x, int y)
{
int wut2Draw;
wut2Draw = number;
switch (wut2Draw)
