Load Image before the Application

[saber210]

Is there any way to an image before the application starts?

And time limit on the image before it loads the main program.

Btw, im using Netbeans IDE 6.9.1

Could you teach me how to do that?

Thanks!

EDIT: Another thing, how can i set background music on my program. Also background images on jpanel, and jframes..

and how to resize the textarea and textfield? setbounds are not working..

Thanks again!

If there is no application code executing, what code would do a load?
Are you asking about a "splash" image. See the SplashScreen class.

Refer to the API for Applet#newAudioClip(...) and the class of object that method returns.

Good they aren't. Learn to use layout managers.

You want a splash screen, here is a tutorial from Oracle:
How to Create a Splash Screen (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing > Using Other Swing Features)
and here is the SplashScreen class javadoc:
SplashScreen (Java Platform SE 6)
For the music, maibe you can extend the SplashScreen class and insert the code for music as suggested from DarryBurke.
