You need to show us the "with" clauses for your code to know whether
"event" is visible or not.  Perhaps you need to write "java.awt.event.UP"
instead of just "event," or include a "use java.awt;" after your
with clause for "java.awt.event."

In general, if you have a compir problem, be sure to include an entire but
minimal test case, and include the error messages as produced by the
compiler.  Otherwise, your potential helpers will have to just guess
at the real problem.

: Any help is of course much appreciated!
