Displaying moving images

[Maulik]

Hi everyone. I am new to Java Swing and want to develop a swing code to show a moving image along with static images just like the file transfer box which is shown when you are copying(not the progress bar). Any help in terms of examples to demonstrate the same will be helpful for the same.

sorry to burst your bubble but the file transfer boxes usually use a GIF animation to appear to have a moving image.

anyhow, this is how you display an image:

java.net.URL IMG_URL = new URL("http://www.myfitnessstudio.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/megan_fox4.jpg");
ImageIcon myImage = new ImageIcon(IMG_URL);
JLabel myLabel = new JLabel();
myLabel.setIcon(myImage);

try and add your three pictures first and tell us if u run into a problem

What will be the other options that could help me show the file transfer if it needs to be influenced by the amount of transfer (any code that allows animation in Java)??
thanks for the reply...

Use a JProgressBar and use the percentage figure from it to decide how far along your animation is at the time
