JApplet image

Does anyone know how to place an image in an application using JApplet? Please hep if you do know i need a picture to show up in an application and not an applet

you can use this...
Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
Image img = tk.getImage("img.jpg");
public void paint(Graphics g){
// this will draw the image...
g.drawImage(img, col, row, this);
}or you can use JLabel...
ImageIcon icons = new ImageIcon("img.jpg");
// some code here...
getContentPane(new JLabel(icons)));

JApplet Image Buttons not init().

I have created a JApplet where it contains image buttons. When I run the applet in a web page I get an error message, not inialised.
I have been informed that the reason is the image buttons. Does the getCodeBase() method form part of the solution and if so does anyone know how.
I have been going mad trying to find a solution.
Thanks

Buttons are not displayed for the first time when drawImage method is used

Hi
In my swing window 2 buttons are there and when clicking these buttons, it should display an image . The two buttons are displayed at the first time and I can click on it . While clicking a button , the corresponding image is also got displayed. [ I am using drawImage() function for it] But what the problem is, then the two buttons are not displayed and it will be displayed again when the mouse moves along the position of these two buttons. And this problem occurs only at the first time..When they are on the window on a second time, they won't vanish when the image is displayed when clicking it. Is this the problem with paint() method?. I am using start() method also.
Please help me!
Thank You

Hi
This is not my exact program, that has a large no: of code. So I am putting here a sample one. One thing I would like to point out is that , I can see the buttons at the time of loading the applet and suddenly it vanishes and the image is drawn. Then if I move the mouse along the position of these buttons , they got displayed.

Painting jpeg in java application: non-static method ... static context

Hi!
I simply want to show a jpeg within a java application. Showing the jpeg in an applet is no problem (see code below). But I have difficulties to translate this code to a java application. No matter what I try to load the jpeg, I end up with the following error:
non-static method createImage() cannot be referenced from a static context
How can I surround it? Thanx in advance for your help!

Hi,
just want to add a solution I found in some textbook (see code below). I hate finding every possible question in the internet, but seldom fitting answers.....
But again, one little thing pushed me close to my first heart attack: The code below works well when executed by foot (...java showPic...). In the NetBeans 3.6 the frame refuses to show the pic!
I am looking for an appropiate forum - but if anyone of you can help, it would be very nice ;-)
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class showPic extends Frame {
Image pic;
public showPic() {
addWindowListener( new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
System.exit(0);
pic = getToolkit().getImage("lemmer.jpg");
setSize(200,100);
setVisible(true);
public void paint(Graphics g) {
if (pic != null) {
g.drawImage(pic,60,20,this);
public static void main( String[] args ) {
new showPic();

Please! Help Applets and IE 5.5!

To see more about my question and a code example, go to my last post: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=31&thread=198915
I am fairly new to Java, so try not to reply to me like you would reply to a seasoned Java programmer. My question may have been answered in my last post, but if it was, I didn't get it. I don't think it was answered, though.
Every applet that I program runs correctly in appletviewer. I write my applets correctly and compile them correctly. I write my .html files correctly, also. But whenever I try to view my applets through my IE 5.5 browser and Windows ME, they will not run. It either says that the class cannot be found or that it is not initialized. The class is in the same folder as the .html file. What confuses me more is that I can view applets from websites accross the net. What is wrong?!
Thanks.

This works fine , Change back the name of the Image.

Help Please - Buttons are not displayed in some platforms/browsers

I've designed my website using flash 8 and I've just noticed
that the buttons aren't being displayed on all browser/platforms.
It works fine on the majority of them but I just went to a couple
of places and accessed my page and the buttons are not shown at
all. Anyone knows why it works in some platforms and not in others?
What can I do to fix this problem?

IconImage - Putting Icons on Labels

Please can anyone help...
I have been trying to insert an icon onto a JLabel.
The process works just fine if I view the result in the appletviewer.
But in the web browsers it raises a security issue and the whole applet refuses to load. The following message apppears: "Exception:java.security.AccessControlException:
access denied(java.io.FilePermission scribe32.gif read)"
I have tried reducing all security in the browsers (iex6.xx and Netscape7.1) down to zero. But to no avail..
Here is a snippet of relevent code:...
void makeNorthPanel() {
     NorthPanel = new JPanel();
     ImageIcon ii = createImageIcon("scribe32.gif");
     JLabel jl = new JLabel("", ii, JLabel.CENTER);
     SpacerN = new JLabel(" Fuzzy Log Java", JLabel.LEFT);
     FlowLayout flow = new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT);
          NorthPanel.setLayout(flow);
          SpacerN.setFont(font);
          NorthPanel.add(jl);
          NorthPanel.add(SpacerN);
          NorthPanel.setBackground(Color.lightGray);
Examples from Java2 manuals also won't run in the browsers...but will in the appletviewer so the code does not seem to be the problem...
I would be very greatful for any assistance.. thanks Bill

Trying to paint a gif

This is my code for an applet to paint a gif file. All that happens when i run the code is that the applet is white, (nothing is being painted). What is wrong with my code?
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
public class Test extends JApplet
     Image stuff;
     public void init()
          stuff= getImage(getDocumentBase( ), "h:/Java/Black_Jack/stuff.bmp");
     public void paint(Graphics g)
          g.drawImage(stuff, 12, 50, this);
}

Put the following code in a class file and get it to work:
    public static void main(String[] d) throws Exception {
        String source = "your image's path here";
        java.awt.Image image = javax.imageio.ImageIO.read(new File(source));
        javax.swing.JLabel lab = new javax.swing.JLabel(new javax.swing.ImageIcon(image));
        javax.swing.JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, lab, null, javax.swing.JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
        System.exit(0);
    }   Change the source string accordingly. Try with different images. If it works with the image the path of which you posted first, then either you haven't explored the "document base" issue enough, or ... we'll see.

Please enhance my code so that it can rotate text at the given angle

Hopefully this will format alright, but my question is, is that why is it giving me this error... it happens in the create multiples function(the last function in this code block) this is a jlayeredpane which is called by a JApplet. Any ideas on the loading? Its in the getImages() fuction.

These are the lines it dies on.... the System.out.println(piece.toString()); precisely. I don't know if I am not getting the images from the directory right... or if I need to make sure this is in a JAR file or not.

I create using NetBeans IDE via JApplet forms.
I know how to createa button and don't know how to adjust the location. Please help.
Thanks for your help.

In the future, Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
Swing is different than AWT. The design of your applet is wrong.
You should not be overriding the paint() method of the applet.
In Swing you add components to the content pane. So in your case you would add a JPanel with your image to the content pane of the applet.
Search the Swing forum and you will find examples of adding a "background image" to a panel.
I know how to createa button and don't know how to adjust the location. Please help. Then don't use an IDE. Learn how to Layout Managers and design the GUIs on your own. Spend your time learning Java, not the IDE.
Read the JButton API and you will find a link to the Swing tutorial that give an example of using buttons on a frame.

Background image for a JApplet

Hi everybody.
I have a app with some textfields, buttons and some JLabels.
I want to put a image as background.
How can I do that?
Thanks in advance.

JApplet (and JFrame and any root container) has a Container that it uses to hold everything else, its contentPane. I would create a JPanel and make it my applet's contentPane and then add everything to this contentPane. To show an image on the contentPane/JPanel, I'd simply Google Background image jpanel. I'd get and then read this: [http://faq.javaranch.com/java/BackgroundImageOnJPanel]
(I've actually bookmarked this page as it gets asked here so often).

Images in JApplet

Hi!
I am trying to convert a game application, made using Java - Swing combination, to an JApplet.
First I installed the newest JRE1.3.1 from the java.sun.com and used the HTMLConverter.
Testing revealed that the JApplet runs quite Ok in the Appletviewer.
When I try to run it in Netscape 6.1 the game works otherwice except that it doesn't have any
of it's pictures which are either in gif - or jpg formats. The Java Console doesn't tell me anything that might indicate a problem.
The interesting part comes when I try to run the same JApplet inside IE5.5. I get a message
that states that the requested html-page (or one of its components) could not be found. At the
same time thought an instance of the Netscape 6.1 is being launched and, to my surprise, the
JApplet runs Ok in it.
If I try to run the JApplet in Opera 5.12 I just get a message saying that a connection to the
running virtual machine could not be established.
At home I use Linux and KDE's browser Konqueror. That's the only one that gives a securityexception for the read operation of the images.
At work, where I have Win 2000, I have tried to play with policytool in order to grant the required reading permissions, but I haven't succeeded yet.
I would appreciate any help in solving this mystery.

MediaTracker tracker = new MediaTracker(this);
tracker.addImage(map,0);
try   {tracker.waitForID(0);}
catch (InterruptedException e){} .
