JLabel constructor

Question

Hello,
I created two labels called left and right as shown below.
left = new JLabel ( images[0] );
right = new JLabel ( images[0]);
It wont compile complaining, "cannot resolve symbol".
images is an array created in a separate method within the same code. I thought maybe it wanted me to declare it like this:
left = new JLabel ( Icon images[0] );
but that didn't work either. It gives the same error.
I'd appreciate some help and/or advice on this.

Here is a sample that works. Use it to see what is missing in your code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
class TestIcon {
     public static void main (String[] argv) {
          ImageIcon[] imagini = new ImageIcon [2];
          imagini[0] = new ImageIcon ("oops.gif");
          imagini[1] = new ImageIcon ("exclamation.gif");
          JLabel l1 = new JLabel (imagini[0]);
          JLabel l2 = new JLabel (imagini[0]);
          JFrame frame = new JFrame ("testing...");
          frame.getContentPane().setLayout (new FlowLayout());
          frame.getContentPane().add (l1);
          frame.getContentPane().add (l2);
          //frame.setSize (300,200);
          frame.pack();
          frame.show();
          frame.setVisible (true);
}Good luck,
