GIF's and IMAGEICON's...

[Pat Ziel]

Hello everyone. I have this issue:

I set an imageIcon on a JButton component. This imageIcon is an animated .gif I made.

When I run my program, the first time I click the animation is properly executed. Afterwards, when I click on other buttons that are present on my grid they skip to the last frame.

Here's the method that is being called:

 public void zoneToucher(Coque C, int posX, int posY){
		ImageIcon anime = new ImageIcon("images/TOUCHER.gif");
		
		if( C.isToucher() == true){
		grilleDeBoutonDroite[posX][posY].setIcon(anime);
		
		
		}
		
	}   

Now, I assume the image is loaded once in memory and being animated once it doesn't do it again?

P.S I've made my image so that it repeats once. If I loop it, it works fine. But I don't want it to loop.

hi!

i've got exactly the same complication. but i don't really understand what's meant with swing in this case. does the swing library contain a special resource loader or something else?

my animated gif isn't set on unlimited animation repetition. but i have to show the gif animation more than one time anyhow.

how can i reload the image file again?

best regards
