Switching images based on a list or actionlistener

[scottsational]

It was in the code, I am trying to display different images depending on which item is highlighted in a list. I will settle for a button used to collect the SelectedIndex(); but that did not work either. I want four different images to show up in the same place on different actions.

 

 public void init() {

        if(r==i1)
        {
            //switch on selection
            img=this.getImage(this.getCodeBase(), "socks.jpg");
        }

        else if(r==i2)
        {
            img=this.getImage(this.getCodeBase(), "shoes.jpg");
        }
        else if(r==i3)
        {
            img=this.getImage(this.getCodeBase(), "pants.jpg");
        }
        else if(r==i4)
        {
            img=this.getImage(this.getCodeBase(), "bike.jpg");

        }
}

  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

        
        
        if(e.getSource()==btndisp)
        {
            lst1.add("Sucess!");
            r=lst1.getSelectedItem();
            lst1.add(r);
            

            //this simply won't display
            img=this.getImage(this.getCodeBase(), "socks.jpg");
            
            
                
            lst1.add(r);
        }
}

public void paint(Graphics g)
    {
        g.drawImage(img,220,140,120,100,this);
    }
    
    public void update(Graphics gg)
{
    paint(gg);
}

}

How can you "bump" when you've neglected to ask a specific question?
