Applet won't start

[David2010]

Ok I am kinda new to java and I am trying to load an image and display it to the screen. It compiles without errors but it refuses to load the image.
Here is the code:

	import java.awt.Graphics;
	import java.awt.Image;

	public class MyPro extends java.applet.Applet

{
	Image img;
	
	public void init()
		
{
	img = getImage(getCodeBase(), "Mario.bmp");	
}

	public void paint(Graphics g)
		
{
	g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, this);	
}

}

It just shows an empty screen without any errors.

What am I doing wrong?

It's probably not finding the image. If it were my money, I'd use a Swing JApplet rather than an AWT Applet, and I'd read the Sun applet tutorial which I believe will show you you how to do this:

img = getImage(getCodeBase(), "Mario.bmp");
The getImage method will not read bmp images. Supported extensions are: gif, jpg and png.
ImageIO will read bmp and wbmp image formats in j2se 1.5+
Also, getImage returns immediately, ie, it doesn't block program execution to load the image data.
To load the image data you need the help of a MediaTracker — the api has sample code showing how to use it.
MediaTracker also has methods you can use to inquire about the success/failure of the loading process. No exceptions are thrown if the image file is not found or if the data in it is unreadable/corrupted so you have to ask.
This is another advantage of the newer ImageIO.read methods — they throw (IllegalArgument) exceptions to let you know if the data was not successfully loaded.

Thanks I just changed the extension to jpg and it works great. xD

Hardwired -- the forum software won't let me "rep" you again, but thanks for catching the bmp issue.
