| We already discussed handling Mouse and Keyboard Events. These AWT components come with new actions which need to be handled with an action() method in your applet |
| Put action ( a method of class Component) in Container instance that is at lowest possible level so you can customize action to things in that Container |
| action(Event evt, Object arg)'s are looked for in same fashion as exceptions. Scan up Containers looking for a method of this name. Scanning stops when you find an action and that method returns true |
| evt.target holds the object that caused the Event |
| Object Arg returned depends on particular Component invoked |
| There are further evt.id's associated with the various peculiar Components -- see description of class Event for current detailed description. |
