Applets reading image - security problem

[ringd]

Hello!

I'm trying to write an applet that displays a .gif image on a button. The image file is in a subfolder of the class file location. When the applet tries to load the image, I get a com.ms.securitySecurityExceptionEx[theclassname.<init>]: cannot access file image.gif

All the classes involved (along with the gif) are in a jar. I tried signing the jar as trusted but the same thing happens.

Any suggestions would be welcome!

Cheers,
Dave Ring.
