Re: Plea for assistance...

Hi all,

Many thanks on all the advice given. Your help really is appreciated, thank
you :)

I tried changing the methods called to use the synchronized keyword (and
removed my earlier checks), but the problem pops up again. To try to
describe what's happening...

menu.loadWinReport(winnings);   // loads up the win report window, sets state
to WIN_REPORT
display.setCurrent(menu);       // menu is a Canvas or Nokia FullCanvas object

In the keyPressed method...

switch (state) {
        // a few case statements here, then...

        case STATE_GAME_REPORT: midlet.playAgain(); return;
        default: return;
}

The midlet.playAgain method consists of...

public synchronized void playAgain() {
        if (stake.canRepeatLastBet())
                display.setCurrent(gameplay);
}

So... going through this bit by bit now, I'm assuming that some keys are
hammered...

The keyPressed method gets called, and then calls the midlet.playAgain()
method, which checks if we can repeat the last bet (which is where the stake
is modified), and this then brings us to the gameplay screen.

Ah, I see now. It's just that the events were getting queued up, and even
though the display had been switched over to another canvas (the game
canvas), the events that were left over on the menu canvas still had to be
processed (hence the multiple stakes being added on). Does this sound more
like it? It does to me at any rate... my apologies for jumping up on the
list, querying the VM before I query my own code... However, could someone
confirm this for me please?

The discussion and advice has been very useful to me, however. Thank you all
for your patience, and apologies for my slowness on this one... I'm going to
blame it on the overtime :)

Thanks again, and sorry.
