Problem loading image for TrayIcon

This code works great if I'm in Netbeans running my project. No problems.
            //grabbing image for TrayIcon
            String curDir = System.getProperty("user.dir");
            Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage
                    (curDir + "\\src\\edunasdesktop\\earth_alert.png");The problem is when I run my jar file from the dist folder in my project folder. The TrayIcon loads just fine,
just with no picture. Do I need to point to a different location or do I need to put the picture elsewhere; or both?
Some pictures I used with the Netbeans GUI Builder on some JLabels are in the same src directory but I used the
Builder to add those pics so I guess I'm a bit unsure on how to do this by hand, as the Builder handled this type situation
in previous occassions.

The [section on icons|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/icon.html#getResource] in the Swing tutorial has information about loading images. The general idea is you use
URL toImage = SomeClass.class.getResource(...);Incendently, if done right then it will work in Netbeans or in a jar. The way you currently have it set the image would have to be in +/src/edunasdesktop/+ within the jar file for the Toolkit to find it.

IOException: Problem loading image

Hi foreros
What could be the reason behind an error like this IOException: Problem loading image except it cannot find the jar path for the images?
Regards
Tizha

Without more information, I'd say there's not enough available RAM to load the image.

Problem loading images - please help

Hi,
I have a slight problem loading images. I'm using netbeans 5.0 and have a few packages setup in a project called Maths. In a package called LineConnection theres a class that needs to read an image and display it on screen. To load the image I use:
URL url = getClass().getResource("fraction/pic1.png");
Image img1 = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(url);This loads the image and I can display it on screen fine.
The problem is that the folder fractions with the images in HAS to be located within the Maths/build/class/LineConnection folder otherwise it wont load the image and I get a null pointer exception.
I want to be able to have the folder containing the images in folder Maths so that it's one folder above the src folder. But if I put it here (or anywhere else) the images can't be found and loaded.
Could someone tell me why the images can only be found if they're within the build folder because it's causing me some problems when I try to create an executable JAR.
Cheers

I've used:
URL url = ImageHandler.class.getResource("fractions/q0.png");
System.out.println("URL = " + url);to determine whether the file is found.
If I put the file in the folder build/classes/LineConection/fractions/q0.png then it finds the image and prints the file path.
But, if I put it in another folder such as the src folder it can't find the image and url = null;
How can I make netbeans search in other folders for the resources so I can store them where I like?

Has anyone created an animated loading image for a WebApp?

I have a complex WebApp that takes a few seconds to load. Does anyone have an example of a loading image for WebApps?

Mail: Load Images for trusted senders

Hi,
Within mail / Preferences, I've disabled loading images for all received email. However, I'd like to be able to automatically load images for any sender in my address book or use some other whitelist mechanism to trust certain senders so that I don't have to "load images" so often. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Robert

This may be a question for the Apple Script forum, as mail rules has the capacity to run an apple script based upon set criteria.
Something like:
on new received message > checked senders > if sender is in address book > run apple script to load images.
If I was an apple script type I might be able to help, sadly though I am not.
Try posting here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=724
I hope you find a successful solution.

Problem loading image from jar file referenced by jar file

First, I searched this one and no, I didn't find an answer. Loading images from jar files has been pretty much done to death but my problem is different. Please read on.
I have my application, a straight up executable running from Eclipse. It uses a jar file, call it JarA. JarA launches a GUI that is located in another jar file. Call it JarB. To recap:
My application calls JarA -> JarA loads classes from JarB -> JarB looks for images to place in a GUI it wants to show on the screen
When JarB goes to load an image the following happens:
java.lang.NullPointerException
     at sun.misc.URLClassPath$3.run(URLClassPath.java:316)
     at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
     at sun.misc.URLClassPath.getLoader(URLClassPath.java:313)
     at sun.misc.URLClassPath.getLoader(URLClassPath.java:290)
     at sun.misc.URLClassPath.findResource(URLClassPath.java:141)
     at java.net.URLClassLoader$2.run(URLClassLoader.java:362)
     at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
     at java.net.URLClassLoader.findResource(URLClassLoader.java:359)
     at java.lang.ClassLoader.getResource(ClassLoader.java:977)
     at org.cubrc.gmshell.gui.MainWin.preInit(MainWin.java:152)
     at org.cubrc.gmshell.gui.MainWin.<init>(MainWin.java:135)
The code from JarB that loads the image looks like this:
          URL[] oSearch = {Main.class.getResource("images/")};
          URLClassLoader oLoader = new URLClassLoader(oSearch);
          imgIcon = new ImageIcon(oLoader.getResource("icon.gif"));
          imgMatchRunning = new ImageIcon(oLoader.getResource("gears.gif"));
          imgMatchStill = new ImageIcon(oLoader.getResource("gears-still.gif"));
          imgMagnify = new ImageIcon(oLoader.getResource("magnify.gif"));This looks right to me and JarB certainly has an images directory with those files. But I'm in hell right now because I don't know where to place the images to make this work or if you can even attempt to load images with a dependency chain like this.
Any help very appreciated!

Have you tried to move your image-files out of the jar file and place them in the sam folder as the jar-file? I think that would help.
When you try to load the image-file you get the NullPointerException because the program tries to read a file it can't find. Remember that a jar file IS a file and not a directory.
If you want to read somthing inside the jar-file you need to encode it first.
Have you tried to read the jar-file with winRar. It makes it easy to add and remove files in your jar-file.

Problems loading Images

Hello !
I'm trying to make a small card game.
I have 52 small gif files(68x94 pix;500 byts each).
When I'm loading those cards on a JPanel, it takes to much time (about 15 sec);
I've enabled double-bufering (no changes);
Without loading Images, all the stuff (JButtons,JTextFile, some String paintings, etc.) is coming up instantly.
I'm using a P III 1,1 Ghz, 256 Mo RAM. with WinXP (could be, Bill Gates fault ? -:) )
I've copyed here an extras of code:
class pan extends JPanel{
     Color myC=new Color(0,170,85);
     Toolkit tt=Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
     String st="";
     Random rnd=new Random();
     public pan(){setDoubleBuffered(true);}
     public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
     super.paintComponents(g);
     g.setColor(myC);
     g.fillRect(0,0,800,500);
     int x=220;int y=10;int m;
     for(int i=0;i<4;i++){
          int c=i;
          for(int j=0;j<13;j++){
          int v=j+2;
          switch(c){
          case 0:m=c+v-1;break;
          case 1:m=13+v-1;break;
          case 2:m=26+v-1;break;
          case 3:m=39+v-1;break;
          default: m=52;}
          g.setColor(Color.white);
          g.fillRoundRect(x,y,72,97,13,13);
          g.setColor(Color.black);
          g.drawRoundRect(x,y,72,97,13,13);
          st="Imagini/Cardsgif/"+"C"+m+".gif";
          g.drawImage(tt.getImage(st),x+2,y+2,this);
          x=x+20;
          st="";
          if((j>0)&(j%12==0)){
               y=y+100;
               x=220;


I just started noticing this problem too. On an order confirmation page on Amazon, many of the button graphics were question marks. But it's random. If I refresh the page, some of the images load but others don't load. All of the images load (so it's not an image format problem), but NEVER all at the same time!
(On a side note, it's VERY bad that Safari displays the question mark graphic instead of the alternate image tag text. There was no way to know which question marks (which should be buttons to click on) are for submitting, cancelling, veiwing order details, editing shipping address, etc.)
Even more frustrating is that a friend finally switched to Macs from years of being a PC user. Her brand new Intel iMac is exhibiting the same problem when she views her and her friend's MySpace pages. This was her very first day of Mac ownership, and there was nothing installed on her iMac except what it came with. Everything was still on the default settings. Same thing...refreshing the page would randomly load some images but not others.
It's all a bit embarassing because the "it just works" arguement was one of the things that convinced her to switch to a Mac. I'd like to offer her a fix to overcome this poor first impression.
PS: I'm on Tiger with the Tiger version of Safari. She's obviously on Leopard.

Problem loading image into texture memory

Hi there, I am currently porting our new casual PC game over to the iPad using the pfi, the game was written in Flash so the porting process isn't that hard thankfully, it's mainly just optimizing the graphics.
So far things are going smoothly, I was initially worried about graphical performance, but since we put everything into the GPU that's no longer a concern- it runs super smooth at 60fps at 1024x768, we can have a hundred large bitmaps rotating and alphaing at once with no slowdown.
However there is one weird problem which is really worrying me at this point- it seems that the speed at which images are loaded into video memory as textures is vastly different depending on what else is being run on the iPad, for example:
* If I run my game with nothing else in memory, it will run fine at 60fps, and load up large images into texture memory very fast.
* If I run another App, in this case a Virtual piano app for a while, then close that App via the Home button (so the piano app is still in memory but suspended due to the multitasking), then when I run my game, it will run ok initially, but when I try to load a large (1024x512) image into texture memory it pauses the whole game for several seconds.
* To make matters worse, if I repeat the same test using the RAGE app from ID software (which is very graphically intense), my game actually slows down to 1 fps and runs extremely slowly as soon as I run it and the frame rate never returns to normal. If I then double-click the home button, shut down RAGE, then go back to my game, it will run fine.
I have read that sometimes when you load images into texture memory it will have to reclaim that memory from other apps, but that doesnt exaplain why it slows down every time I want to load something, or why the game would slow right down to a crawl.
So then it seems that having other Apps in memory is slowing down my game, or stopping it from working altogether. Obviously this is not ideal and would stop us from releasing, so is there any way I can stop this, has anyone come across the problem? Please help!
PS. this problem also happens on an iPhone 4, as I have performed the same tests.

Hi _mz84
First thing I noticed, is that you did not close your
<embed> tag
<embed src="gallery1.swf" bgcolor="#421628" width="385"
height="611" wmode="transparent" />
If that doesn't solve your troubles, try the following
container.
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="611"
width="385" align="middle" data="gallery1.swf">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />
<param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
<param name="movie" value="gallery1.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#421628" />
</object>
hope this helps out.

Problem loading Image through XML!

I am Akshay and am beginner in this forum. I am trying to load images using flickr API and having problem.
I am doing it in following fashion:
1) I am calling the Httpservice to get the xml through flickr API as
<s:HTTPService id="photoService" url="http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/....FullAPI" resultFormat="e4x" result="photoResultHandler(event);" fault="photoFaultHandler(event);"/>
2) In photoResultHandler I am retrieving the XML
private function photoResultHandler(re:ResultEvent):void
photoXml= re.result as XML;
However, I am struggeling to retireve elements from photoXML and then use it to display image in :
<mx:Image id="img0" x="151" y="98" width="520" height="291"/>
The XML structure is as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<feed">
<entry>

     <link rel="enclosure" type="image/jpeg" href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4484460580_04bbced2d8_o.jpg"/>
</entry>
<entry>
</entry>
I need to load the href value of link which can be found in feed-->entry-->link in the above xml.
Please help!

Why does Safari have a problem loading images on some websites?

Safari has a problem loading pages properly or images on certain websites. Apple.com is one of the websites. On my way in here this time it didnt load any images on the front page. I emptied my cache and reloaded the page but that didnt help. Clicked on a broken image that took me to the proper page but without any images. Clicked on a different broken image on to the page and the images load no problem. Click back to the home page images load problem. Clicked on in to support forums and posted this topic.
Any ideas... it has done this for awhile. Everything is enabled in web content(preferences) Always accept cookies is selected.
Thanks

Hi all,
I occasionally see messages telling me that my software won't let me see the HTML version of an email, but it's there on the page when I open it. This happens mostly with emails from Apple, but have also had a similar message from a few of the photography mags that I subscribe to.
For my part, I just ignore it. It won't go away, but I just don't let it bother me.

Problems loading images dynamically with XML

Hi Everyone,
I am working with a project that was build by another
developer and I have been asked to modify it several ways. This is
an interactive map for a hotel brand where when you click on the
USA, you get a list of all the states, click a state and a list of
all the hotels in that state comes up, click a hotel, the hotel's
information is displayed. I understand the structure of the files,
how they make them work, though I couldn't build it myself.
The problem I am having is this. can't make the hotels'
photos load into the flash through the XML. I created a target
movie file that the image could load into but something is not
happening as far as loading the images. I don't know if the movie
clip that I created is the right way to go (it was made as an
object in the library that is exported via AS), or if I should
create one in the action script file that loads the XML data.
I looked at some tutorials about how to load images with XML
but those didn't get into the level of detail that I need for this
project.
I've attached some partial code to see if anyone can help me
work through this.
Any and all suggestions are welcome.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Jeremiah

I'm a noob at AS3 and trying to learn this XML stuff myself,
but i have been able to load pictures to the stage...this might

xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("xmldata/images.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);

Alpha transparency borders on dynamically loaded images for use with textures

Hi there folks. Well, I have been beating my head over this
and am hoping one of you can help me out.
Essentially I have 16bit images that are loaded into my
shockwave application at run-time. These images are user defined
which means that I will not know their size ahead of time. Once the
images are loaded I then create textures and apply them to various
shaders. Ok, all of this works just fine. What I need to do though
is create an alpha transparent border around the images, so when I
apply them to their surfaces I only see the image and nothing
around it. I am doing this because these images will only appear at
specific parts on a surface, textureRepeat will be false, and many
models will be stacked in the same exact location using the same
model resource. I have everything working, but I cannot figure out
the alpha part for the life of me. Also, when I test the alpha
based image by itself it works just fine. It is not until I try and
combine the 16bit (converted to 32bit at run-time) image that I run
into problems.
I have tried:
- Creating a 32bit alpha image in Fireworks with a
transparent border and a black rect for the inside. I then copy the
dynamic image over the alpha image (only after going from 16bit to
32bit in imaging Lingo) and leave a little room at the edges for
the transparency. Well, I get a crazy amount of streaks here even
when I try to up the trans border by around 24 pixels on each side.
- Using another similiar alpha based image as a mask with
copyPixels and extractAlpha/setAlpha like this... (code is a little
rough here)
newImage = new(#bitmap)
newImage.name = "place_Test"
newImage.image = member("place").image
newAlpha = new(#bitmap)
newAlpha.name = "AHH"
newAlpha.image = image(newImage.image.width + 24,
newImage.image.height + 24, 32)
newAlpha.image.useAlpha = true
newAlpha.image.copyPixels(member("vase").image,
newAlpha.image.rect, member("vase").image.rect)
newAlphaInfo = newAlpha.image.extractAlpha()
newAlpha.image.useAlpha = false
--reverse dark to light
iAlphaReverse = image(newAlpha.image.width,
newAlpha.image.height, 8, #grayscale)
iAlphaReverse.fill(iAlphaReverse.rect, rgb(0,0,0))
iAlphaReverse.copyPixels(newAlphaInfo, iAlphaReverse.rect,
newAlphaInfo.rect, [#ink : #reverse])
--newAlphaInfo.copyPixels(iAlphaReverse, newAlphaInfo.rect,
iAlphaReverse.rect, [#ink:#subtractpin])
newAlphaMask = iAlphaReverse.createMask()
rescaleAbs(newImage, newImage.image.width,
newImage.image.height, "place_Test", 32)
destImage = member("place_Test").image.duplicate()
destImage.fill(destImage.rect, rgb(0,0,0))
newAlpha.image.useAlpha = false
destImage.copyPixels(newImage.image, newImage.image.rect,
newImage.image.rect, [#maskImage:newAlphaMask, #ink:#add])
destImage.setAlpha(iAlphaReverse)
destImage.useAlpha = true
member("place_Test").image = destImage
I apologize for the messy code. I have cut and pasted from
all over the place and am getting confused. In any case, I think I
am making this harder then it needs to be and hope someone can
help.
Thank you in advance,
Dave

Hi, you can try using other texture layer as mask on the same
shader. As usually you create the texture from a dynamic loaded
image, then apply this texture to the shader on the texture list
index 1 (textureList[1]). Next part does the job, create other
texture from a 32 bits image with the alpha information and fill
all pixels with white color, this is very important because the
second texture layer will be multiply with the first texture layer.
This texture set its render format to rgba8888. Apply the mask
texture to the same shader at texture list index 2, verify that the
blendFunctionList index 2 is #multiply.
I include the code of a project that use this masking
approach:
property pMember
property pEarthSphere
property pNightSphere
property pLastTransform
on beginSprite me
pMember = sprite(me.spriteNum).member
me.setupWorld()
end
on setupWorld(me)
pMember.resetWorld()
repeat with i = pMember.light.count down to 1
pMember.deletelight(i)
end repeat
vEarthModelResource = pMember.newModelResource("EARTH MODEL
RESOURCE", #sphere)
vEarthModelResource.radius = 50.000
vEarthModelResource.resolution = 20
vEarthTexture = pMember.newTexture("EARTH TEXTURE",
#fromCastMember, member(3,1))
vEarthShader = pMember.newShader("EARTH SHADER", #standard)
vEarthShader.emissive = color(255,255,255)
vEarthShader.flat = TRUE
vEarthShader.transparent = FALSE
vEarthShader.textureList[1] = vEarthTexture
pEarthSphere = pMember.newModel("EARTH MODEL",
vEarthModelResource)
pEarthSphere.shaderList = vEarthShader
vNightModelResource = pMember.newModelResource("NIGHT MODEL
RESOURCE", #sphere)
vNightModelResource.radius = 50.2000
vNightModelResource.resolution = 20
vNightTexture = pMember.newTexture("NIGHT TEXTURE",
#fromCastMember, member(4,1))
vNightTexture.quality = #lowFiltered
vNightTexture.nearFiltering = FALSE
vNightTexture.renderFormat = #rgba8880
vNightShader = pMember.newShader("NIGHT SHADER", #standard)
vNightShader.emissive = color(255,255,255)
vNightShader.flat = TRUE
vNightShader.transparent = TRUE
vNightShader.textureList[1] = vNightTexture
vMaskNightTexture = pMember.newTexture("MASK NIGHT TEXTURE",
#fromCastMember, member(6,1))
vMaskNightTexture.renderFormat = #rgba8888
vNightShader.textureList[2] = vMaskNightTexture
vNightShader.textureModeList[2] = #wrapPlanar
pNightSphere = pMember.newModel("NIGHT MODEL",
vNightModelResource)
pNightSphere.shaderList[1] = vNightShader
pNightSphere.parent = pEarthSphere
end
on exitFrame(me)
pEarthSphere.rotate(0.0,0.1,0.0)
me.moveMaskNightTexture()
end
on moveMaskNightTexture(me)
vRotationVector = - pEarthSphere.transform.rotation
pNightSphere.shaderList[1].wrapTransformList[2].rotation =
vRotationVector
end

I have "Load Images Automatically" disabled. How can I load images for ONLY the page I am currently viewing?

I have intentionally disabled "Load Images Automatically" so that it is easier to view my desktop remotely via VNC or Remote Desktop. Animations and other graphics kill the performance of these remote viewing apps. However, when I reach a desired web page (the one I really intend to read in full), I want to load all the images ***for that page only***.

I don't think Firefox has that features. It views loading images as a permissions issues toggled on a site-by-site basis rather than a performance issue toggled on a page-by-page basis.
Maybe an add-on would give you a better balance of features? These two popped up in a quick search:
[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/image-block/ Image Block :: Add-ons for Firefox]
[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/imglikeopera/ ImgLikeOpera :: Add-ons for Firefox]
If you try either of these, let us know what you think.

Problems loading images in JavaHelp

Using Helpsetmaker to drop the helpset I have had problems with loading images.
Helpsetmaker keeps any imported images in a pics/<folder>/<folder> heirachy, where the subfolder heirachy is based upon the 'root directory' used to import images.
The html docs produced are used OK, but the images are not loaded correctly.
HTML is fine, so the helpset files in general produced by the utility are OK.
If I move the images to the root of the helpset i.e. the same
location as the html, & edit the html <img> tags to reflect the new location they are loaded
correctly so no problems with image files as such.
AFAIK JavaHelp does not impose restrictions on locating files in subfolders, am I missing something?

Having had a spare moment to look at the problem again this was a case of seeing what you want to see.
HelpSetMaker was actually dropping tags src="pics\folder\folder/image.png"

Problem loading page for certain websites since upgrading to FF 29

Since upgrading to Firefox 29, when I click on a link in my e-mail I will get a "problem loading page" tab with a server not found error message. This happens mainly when I get e-mails from BookBub.com and click on the link to go to Amazon to purchase books. I also get e-mails from BookSends that have Amazon links and when I click the links in the BookSends e-mails those work with no problems. However, the issue is not only with the BookBub e-mails. There are random links in other e-mails that will not work (Harbor Freight is another one that I've been trying to click an unsubscribe link in their e-mail and it will not work).
I have tried clearing my cache, checked the firewall to make sure Firefox is allowed to access the web, checked the computer for malware but nothing has worked. Please help! This is very frustrating. Thanks!

Please note that you have extensions installed that could be conflicting.
*Trend Micro extensions and Norton extensions can be problematic.
Can you disable those? Note that you do NOT need these to keep active virus protection. Norton is installed on your computer and is working system-wide.
