1st Applet, 1st Problem with getCodeBase

Question

I am getting a runtime error to do with not being able to find getCodeBase(source). Looking at the sun site, when they use this method, they do
getCodeBase(), "Images/cat,gif" etcMine is slightly different though. My images are passed to a constructor like this
      public ImagePanel(String img)
          this(new ImageIcon(img).getImage());
      }And in my Applet class, I do this
ImagePanel back = new ImagePanel(getCodeBase() + "Images/back.JPG");So i am using a + instead of a ,. I dont know if this would make a difference. From looking at the way I do this, is there any reason as to why it would not be able to find the image?
cheers

Answer 1

I think a problem i have is the way i am dealing with JPanels here for my Applet. So this is the beginning of a panel class
public class ImagePanel extends JPanel {
       private Image background; //The background image
       private ArrayList<Rec> top;    //An array list of foreground images
       private ArrayList<Rec> bottom;
       private ArrayList<Rec> middle;
         private MovingImage copter;
       private ArrayList<MovingImage> smoke;
    //Constructs a new ImagePanel with the background image specified by the file path given
      public ImagePanel(URL img, String w)
          this(new ImageIcon( new URL( img, w ) ));
    //Constructs a new ImagePanel with the background image given
      public ImagePanel(Image img)
        background = img;
        Dimension size = new Dimension(img.getWidth(null), img.getHeight(null));
        setPreferredSize(size);
        setMinimumSize(size);
        setMaximumSize(size);
        setSize(size);
        top = new ArrayList<Rec>();
        middle = new ArrayList<Rec>();
        bottom = new ArrayList<Rec>();
        smoke = new ArrayList<MovingImage>();
      }The problem i get when i added in your suggestion is cannot find symbol constructor ImagePanel(javax.swing.ImageIcon) So i dont know if i should be adding a default constructor in or somthing or change the current one?
