Please Help! Changing a graphic via a menu with listeners

[nt5515]

hey Im trying to make a game of pairs (the memory game) i have set up a grid which displays a graphic for the card back. im trying to link the edit menu to choose the graphic to be displayed. i've set up a string variable called deck which will contain the path to the required image. and actionlisteners DA and DB corresponding to which style is choosen in the menu. I had to declare the deck to some initial image so it can load.
How do i impliment the change once the menuitem has been selected?
below is my code so far.

Call setIcon(yourNew IconImage) on the JLabel(s) whose image you want to change.
