Loading images from an Array

[pinkette]

Hello, i have an array for example

images [0][0] = "images1.gif";
images [0][1] = "images2.gif";

I want to set an Image Icon using the images array.

pictureimage[i].setIcon(new ImageIcon (images[0][1]));

That isnt the right syntax so wondered if anyone knew.
Many Thanks

Well, considering that you don't have images in that array, but rather strings that seemingly represent filenames (without paths), no, that's not the correct syntax.

What does the API docs for ImageIcon say? What possible constructors can you use?

So in that array, would i need to include filenames for it to work? Im new to java so sorry if its a really stupid question.

filenames is what you already have. What are the possible constructors for ImageIcon? See the API docs.

A filename is acceptable, but hopefully the cwd is correct (probably not as it almost never is what a "newbie" expects it to be). You might also want to explain exactly what you mean by "isnt the right syntax". Do you get a compiler message? post it (completely). Do you get an exception? post it (completely). Does something else happen? describe it (fully). I believe you should be getting the idea by now.

Would it be this one?

ImageIcon(Image image)
Creates an ImageIcon from an image object.

Only if you had images rather than strings seemingly representing filenames in that 2d array.
