I am trying to move an image from right to left. The image I am trying to move is drawTrain method in another class. I think I have to use drawTrain method with move() method. However, I do not know how to do that.. Or I'm totally wrong and there has to be another solution. So far, I tried to use something like
train.drawTrain.move(movex, 0);
train.drawTrain(0, 0).move(movex, 0);
well.. failed.. I tried to search and google and everything, but I'm just sitting and spending several hours. If what I am trying to do is right, how can I move a method in another class? If not, what did I do wrong and how can I fix them?
my driver class
public class Driver extends GraphicsProgram
{
//~ Instance/static variables .............................................
//~ Constructor ...........................................................

/**

public void run()
{
Train train = new Train(getGCanvas());
int movex = -20;
while(true)
{
train.drawTrain(1400, 100);
train.move(movex, 0);
pause(60);
}
