Help Drawing An Image

[deathbow2134]

I know I sound like a compelete novice when I say this, but I just cant draw Images in java appliactions. I copied the code right from Sun's website and added an image to the codes base, and yes, the file names where the same. It failed to load. When I tried to use a just a URL, it didn't work either. I am not a Java novice, I understand the Swing API, and the Abstract Window Toolkit, but I cant seem to load images. I will run the applet/appletication but the image does not appear.

To see if the image was not laoding i tried

if (Image_name_her e == null){
g.setColor(Colo r.yellow);
g.drawString("E rror");
}
it didn't draw the Error message, someone guide me thought the basics.

Thanks

Are you trying to invoke one of the Graphics.drawIm age() methods or do you stick
the image (e.g. an Icon) in a JLabel and let the JLabel do the dirty work?

kind regards,
