Problems: I am unable to get the values of the JTextFields or the rollResultTotal to update. Even if the data in the JTextFields are valid, a NumberFormatException is still thrown.
Questions: Why don't the variables stay? Is this due to declaration in the class itself? Is it possible to update a JLabel panel to show an updated result? (tried this, epic failure)
Thanks in advance for any input and examples.
