Images in Java

[Trey German]

I'am having trouble putting images in my java applets can someone please send me some source code that works for sure. All the code that I've found doesn't seem to work. THANX

Jungle.gif I found laying around in the MicroSoft stuff on my PC and moved it to my DocumentBase directory (the directory that the HTML holding the Applet sits in).

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.Applet;
class MyApplet extends Applet{
    Image myImage;
    public void init(){
       try{
         //to use getDocumentBase() the .gif must actually BE in the 
         //same directory as the html
          myImage = getImage(getDocumentBase(),"Jungle.gif");  
        }
        catch(Exception e){}
   }
   public void paint(Graphics g){
        boolean b = g.drawImage(myImage, 20, 20, this);
   } 
}

Thanx for the code the applet looks like its working but now it just gives me a grey square when i open the applet. I have a feeling its just the computer i'm using but it is doing it on all the computers i've tried do you have any suggestions?

[Cindy Glass]

Is the gif file in the correct directory?

[Trey German]

Yes. I believe it is in the correct directory.

[Trey German]

i got it working thanx

[Trey German]

Also will the same code work in a java program, and if it doesn't sould you give me some that will
THANX

[Cindy Glass]

Well you can't use DocumentBase of course. You will need to use something like:
Image myImage = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(�myPic.jpg�);
or
Image myImage = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(new URL(�http://www.javaranch.com/Cindy/Cindy2.jpg�));
