Moderation:

• Code tags added so that posted code will retain its formatting and be readable
• Moved from Applets forum to Swing forum as this question has nothing to do with applets.

I suggest that you start simpler just to figure out each component. For instance, I would first try to create an Image, place it in an ImageIcon, place that in a JLabel and display the JLabel perhaps simply in a JOptionPane. If you get that to work, then work on the next step, perhaps multiple images in a GUI, and then only when that works, work on the animation.

Also your random code indentation makes your code very hard to read and makes it less likely that folks will want to read it and offer you specific advice. So please fix your code indentation so that its uniform, usually 3-4 space indentation will do.
