Java Help

[Shelnutt2]

I've read my Java for dumies guide. I think I am almost finished now, but here is my problem. I have figuered out how to get the number the user entered. Yet I can't get it to put it into my other Label. Here is my whole code.

}
}

I know, I know I need loops.


choice_LA1 = new TextField("0"); //First textField on the left
add(choice_LA1);
int LAC = Integer.parseInt(choice_LA1.getText()); //how I am getting the user entered integer and making it a varible



LA_needed = new Label(LAC); // First label underneath heading label on the right
add(LA_needed);

When I try to do that, so it will print what you have entered in the box for Language arts credits, I get the error "cannot find symbol constructor Label(int)"
What am I doing wrong?


Thanks

edit:
I am getting some help here (http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?p=4488474#post4488474)to.

i don't have time to really debug your code right now (I might later).

for now, here is the quick fix for the error you're getting:

LA_needed = new Label(""+LAC)

Hmm.. Thank you for that info. I edit my post above with a link to were I can also getting help. I thank you though because I think now I can disguard what thy had me doing (converting the int back to sting to be able to put it in the label.)
