I have a school project I’m not supposed to be starting til monday, and it’s not due for another 6 weeks or longer. We are creating a program in java to add what we want to a database, I chose games (title, genre, platform, price, quantity(string, combobox, combobox, double, int)), I’m using a stack to add all of the objects to, but for some reason I can’t get it to compile for some reason, and I keep getting really strange errors. My error and then code are below respectively.

    This call:

    gamesStack.push(new Game("[Halo: Reach]", 3, 1, 108.00, 2));

    should be in some method, since you want to do it i every new object, as it looks from your code, why not moving it to the constructor:

    public class GameCombo extends JPanel {
  ArrayList<Game> gamesList = new ArrayList<Game>();
  Stack<Game> gamesStack = new Stack<Game>();
  private JComboBox _gameBox;

    public GameCombo() {
         setLayout(new GridLayout(1,1,1,1));
         gamesStack.push(new Game("[Halo: Reach]", 3, 1, 108.00, 2));
         _gameBox = new JComboBox(gamesStack);
         add(_gameBox);
    }
}
