Why are these words underlined in red in Eclipse?

[Astralogic]

Code tags destroy the color codes, so i'll have to paste it like this. I found the resizeImage() method online and just copied and pasted it, that's the only place where the errors occur.

import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Image;
import java.awt.MediaTracker;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.net.URL;

public class ImageLoader extends Component {

	public Image loadImageFromFile(String filename) {
		Image image = null;
		Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
		image = tk.getImage(filename);
		waitForImage(image);
                image = resizeImage(image, 200, 200);
		return(image);
	}

	private void waitForImage(Image image) {
		MediaTracker mt = new MediaTracker(this);
		mt.addImage(image, 1);
		try {
			mt.waitForAll();
		} catch(Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
			System.exit(0);
		}
	}
	
	public Image loadImageFromInternet(String urlString) {
		Image image = null;
		URL url = null;
		try {
			url = new URL(urlString);
		} catch(Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
			System.exit(0);
		}
		Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
		image = tk.getImage(url);
		waitForImage(image);
                image = resizeImage(image, 200, 200);
		return(image);
	}
	
	public static Image resizeImage(Image src, int screenWidth, int screenHeight) {
		int srcWidth = src.getWidth(); *******************************************************
                int srcHeight = src.getHeight(); ********************************************************
		Image tmp = Image.createImage(screenWidth, srcHeight); ***********************************************
		Graphics g = tmp.getGraphics();
		int ratio = (srcWidth << 16) / screenWidth;
		int pos = ratio / 2;
		 
	    // Horizontal Resize
	    for (int x = 0; x < screenWidth; x++)
	    {
	        g.setClip(x, 0, 1, srcHeight);
	        g.drawImage(src, x - (pos >> 16), 0, Graphics.LEFT | Graphics.TOP);**************************************
	        pos += ratio;
	    }
		 
	    Image resizedImage = Image.createImage(screenWidth, screenHeight);*************************************
	    g = resizedImage.getGraphics();
	    ratio = (srcHeight << 16) / screenHeight;
	    pos = ratio / 2;
	 
	    //Vertical resize
	    for (int y = 0; y < screenHeight; y++) {
	        g.setClip(0, y, screenWidth, 1);
		        g.drawImage(tmp, 0, y - (pos >> 16), Graphics.LEFT | Graphics.TOP);********************************************
		        pos += ratio;
		    }
	 
		    return resizedImage;
		}
}

These errors make no sense to me, not all of them refer to the above function though, and that's the only problem.

I have no idea why or how I'm getting these errors. Could someone help me?

Thanks

Edit: I added code tags, and stars *** to highlight the lines on which the errors occured.

[Tolls]

Keep the code tags, because most of us won't bother reading unformatted code.

Provide the relevant error text and point out which line they occur on.

Here is an image of what is highlighted red:

You are trying to use fields of a class that don't exist. Look up the Graphics API and see if it has LEFT, RIGHT, TOP,... fields and you'll see that it doesn't. You can't make things up and expect it to work.

I didn't make those up, I found this method on a website with many many comments from people saying it is an excellent method to use.

Take a look at them and you'll see why I assumed it should work perfectly.

Rule number 2: don't believe all you see on the internet. The Java API is the final arbiter of what fields and methods a class has. If you check the Graphics API, you'll see that those fields simply don't exist for this class.

[Tolls]

It does exist.
In JME.
Which is what that page is all about (see the heading - "[J2ME] Resize an Image Object ")

No, I don't see why you should assume that a url containing 'j2me' would lead you to code that would work perfectly in Java SE.

Well, I didn't know they are two different things, thanks.

I'll just forget about resizing the image.

Giving up so easily? Go through the API for BuferedImage and the Tutorial Lesson: Working with Images (The Java™ Tutorials > 2D Graphics)
