Problems loading an image in an applet 1

[timmay3141]

I'm trying to make an applet draw some dice images. The images are in files named die1.png through die6.png. Here's my code for loading and displaying them:

[source]
public void loadImages() {
for(int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
URL imageUrl = getClass().getResource("/die" + (i+1) + ".png");
diceImages = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(imageUrl);
}
}

public void paint(Graphics g) {
super.paint(g);
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;

// draw the dice
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
g2.drawImage(diceImages[dice - 1], 40 * i + 50, 75, this);
}
}
[/source]

By the way, this is using swing, not AWT if it matters. I'm using eclipse to run this as an applet, and it works fine on my computer. However, when I load it on to the net, the images don't show up. I'm inexperienced debugging applets in Java - I have debugged applications enough in C++ and C#, but debugging applets seems to be trickier. Any tips for debugging applets in general would be appreciated.

Say your applet is in /myCodeBase, then you need to do this :

URL u = getCodeBase();

which will return a URL reference to the directory /myCodeBase.

The you can construct a new URL to the image :

URL imageUrl = u +"/die1.png";

and then load the image as normal.
