I can't figure out this out

private void drawbulb(int dummy){
AOval cirque = new AOval(75,200,BULB_SIZE,BULB_SIZE);
if (dummy > 32){
cirque.setColor(Color.red);}
else {cirque.setColor(Color.blue);}
cirque.setToFill();
cirque.place(view);}

Why doesn't this change from red to blue when dummy is below 32? The object is drawn perfectly, except it doesn't change colour.

If you're expecting it to change the colour every time the variable dummy changes its value, that's not the behaviour.

That code won't change the colour, just will draw a red or blue thingie depending on the value of dummy at "drawing time".

Cheers.

yes, dummy changes between 0 and 100, sometimes it is below 32 and sometimes it is above 32, I need it red when it is above 32 and red otherwise, how do I do that?

//drawLine means within void paint method
       public void paint(Graphics g)
              {g.setColor(Color.RED);
               backg.drawLine(0,0,100,100);
              }

I figured it out, I don't quite understand why this happened (and neither does my prof), but it was running the same driver class from a different package.
