Hi there, I want to create a crossword that users can type in their answers in the boxes. I also want it to be compatible with a Macromedia Director project because this game will be included on an interactive CD-ROM i will be authoring. Has anyone programmed something similar? What is the best language to use to create this? I did find the following Java applet on the Internet: http://javaboutique.internet.com/crossword/ along with its source code: http://javaboutique.internet.com/crossword/crossword.java You can download the .class file for this applet which succesfully runs in an html file. However, if I modify the source code using BlueJ, say change the string for one of the crossword clues, and compile, the applet does not run. I noticed that when it is compiled, I get a compiler error: "crossword.java uses or overrides a deprecated API." I have managed to replace the old "size()" method with the new "getSize()" method in the source code, but I don't know how to convert the "mouseDown(Event, int, int)" method into the new "processMouseEvent(MouseEvent)" method. Thanks, Tristan
