I have an arraylist of entites that I want to move randomly. No matter what I do, they won't move. Here is my female class:

import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.Image;
import java.awt.Rectangle;
import java.util.Random;

import javax.swing.ImageIcon;

public class Female extends Entity {
static int femaleX = 0;
static int femaleY = 0;
double walkSpeed = .1f;
Random rand = new Random();
int random;
int dir;

Player player;

public Female(int posX, int posY) {
    super(posX, posY);

}

public void update() {
    posX += femaleX;
    posY += femaleY;

}

public void draw(Graphics2D g2d) {
    g2d.drawImage(getFemaleImg(), posX, posY, null);
    if (Player.showBounds == true) {
        g2d.draw(getBounds());
    }
}

public Image getFemaleImg() {
    ImageIcon ic = new ImageIcon("res/female.png");
    return ic.getImage();
}

public Rectangle getBounds() {
    return new Rectangle(posX, posY, getFemaleImg().getHeight(null),
            getFemaleImg().getWidth(null));
}

public void moveFemale() {
    random = rand.nextInt(3);
    System.out.println(random);

    if (random == 0) {
        dir = 0;
        posX -= (int) walkSpeed;
    }
}

}

And here is how I update the female class in the main class:

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
    player.update();

    for(int i = 0; i < females.size(); i++){
        Female tempFemale = females.get(i);
        tempFemale.update();
    }
    repaint();
}

If I do something like this(in the female update method):

public void update() {
    posX += femaleX;
    posY += femaleY;

    posX -= walkSpeed;

}

The characters move with no problem. Why is this?
