Icons in Java1.1.8

[JSamadi]

Hi,

Another message so soon!

I am trying to do some dialog boxes and other screens that require an image. The only examples I've been able to find about images in Java, are using Swing or using applets and image URLs.

I am restricted to using 1.1.8 AWT. Does anyone have advice on loading images, or better yet, a tutorial link.

I've seen the createImage, drawImage and ImageObserver/Producer stuff. It's just a bit confusing still.

Thanks

Hi!

Here is a very-very simple image loader snippet (from applet):

static Image[] imgLeds;
final private void loadImages() {
int i, j;
MediaTracker mt;

showStatus("Loading images..."
imgLeds=new Image[2];
imgLeds[0]=getImage(getCodeBase(), "LedOff.gif"
imgLeds[1]=getImage(getCodeBase(), "LedOn.gif"


mt=new MediaTracker(this);
mt.addImage(imgLeds[0], 0);
mt.addImage(imgLeds[1], 1);
try { mt.waitForAll(); }
catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("Image load error: "+e); }
showStatus(""
}

Good luck. Bye, Otto.
