🚀 go-pugleaf

I am having a problem combining two applets.  In one, I have a
cardLayout and the appropriate:

   public boolean action(Event evt, Object arg)
   {  if (evt.target instanceof Component && 
         ((Component)evt.target).getParent().equals(tabs))
      {  if (arg.equals("<<")) layout.first(cards);
         else if (arg.equals("<")) layout.previous(cards);
         else if (arg.equals(">")) layout.next(cards);
         else if (arg.equals(">>")) layout.last(cards);
         else layout.show(cards, (String)arg);
      }
      else return super.action(evt, arg);
      return true;
}


In the other, I have a database connection with a seperate boolean
Action.  When I tried to combine them, I would get an error saying that
one wasn't reached.  I know I am missing something simple, so could
someone PLEASE fill me in.

Thanks,
