Help with getting Images to show in a Rock, Paper, Scissors game

[flg22]

Hi

I am working on this Rock, paper, scissors java game and the program works, but I can not figure out how to get the images to load onto the program. So my question is how do I get the images to load up with the program? I am using JCreator for this project. I have created the Basic Java Application project, and then added in the 3 .java files that I need to run the program, but I just can not figure out how or where I need to upload the files. The game works without the images, but I would really like them to show up.


This is the .java file that calls up the images:

import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
 
public class pss extends JPanel implements ActionListener, ItemListener

{
 
if (!errorWithImages)
{
lblPlayerWeaponIcon.setIcon(imgWeapon[cboxWeapon.getSelectedIndex()]);
}
 
}
 
}

Here is the other .java file that calls on the Images:

import java.awt.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
 
public class objCreateAppletImage
{
 
public void objCreateAppletImage ()
{
}
//If an error occurs (or is thrown by me) it will be thrown to the next level up, and either caught or thrown
public ImageIcon getImageIcon (Object parentClass, String path, String description, int fileSize) throws Exception
{
 
int count = 0;
BufferedInputStream imgStream = new BufferedInputStream(parentClass.getClass().getResourceAsStream(path));
byte buff[] = new byte[fileSize];
 
if (imgStream == null) //If doesn't exist
{
throw new Exception("File not Found");
}
 
try
{
 
count = imgStream.read(buff);
imgStream.close(); //Closes the stream
 
}
catch (IOException ex)
{
throw new Exception("Corrupt file");
}
 
return new ImageIcon(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(buff), description); //Creates the image from the byte array
 
}
 
}

Could someone please help me? I really have no idea and I would like this to work.

Thank you

Hi flg22! Welcome to bytes.com!

It's great to have you here!

When you post, please always keep to the Posting Guidelines and when you post code, please post it in [code] ... [/code] tags (I've added them for you in this case).

Also, please only post the relevant code - code snipplets should be fine, posting complete classes is normally far to much. Nobody will want to go through your complete code, if it's not necessary. And please describe what exactly your problem is - how far did you get with the image problem and what does your program do so far?

Otherwise, I'll just wish you the best and hope you enjoy being part of bytes.com!

Greetings,
