MouseListener vs MouseMotionListener:
MouseMotionListener:

• is an interface
• has some methods that are called if mouse is moved or dragged
• sends methods a MouseEvent

• is an interface
• has some methods that are called if mouse is clicked, pressed, released, or when the mouse cursor enters or exits a component
• sends methods a MouseEvent

Files:
The FileReader object is used to read files one character at a time. The file name is set when the new FileReader(String filename) method is called.

The BufferedReader object is like the FileReader object but it can can read an entire line of data at once, using the br.readLine() method. The BufferedReader reads it's characters from a FileReader object.

These functions are stored in java.io, and must be stored in a try catch block.

example:
FileReader fr = new FileReader("File.txt");
char c = fr.read() ;
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
String s = br.readLine();
