Hi all,
I am trying to use a timer to make a label blink in a frame.I am adding
a class inside the frame for this purpose.But whe i compile it says '
<identifier > expected at the line

timer.schedule( <-here task,period);
I hve given the code below.Can anyone please help.
Raam

Code:

class Tmier {
int delay = 5000; // delay for 5 sec.
int period = 1000; // repeat every sec.
java.util.Timer timer = new java.util.Timer();
class task extends TimerTask{
public void run() {
if(LQ.getForeground().equals(Color.RED))
LQ.setForeground(LQ.getBackground());
else
LQ.setForeground(Color.RED);

repaint();
}
}
timer.schedule(task,period);
}//Inner class Timer


I suggest using something like this instead:

javax.swing.Timer myTimer = new javax.swing.Timer(period, new
ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent xiEvent)
{
// do your things in here
}
});
myTimer.setInitialDelay(delay);
myTimer.start();
