    Smile Cannot see the gui for the SingleLaneBridge java applet example

    Hi,

    Note: To see a clearer version of the question asked below, please go to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3...applet-example



    I went to the this java site -> http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~jnm/book/bo...aneBridge.html and loaded the files in a new project in netbeans 6.8 . I removed the package declaration and put them in the default package of the project. I tried to compile it by right clicking and selecting run(Shift + F6) on the SingleLaneBridge.java file. This program compiled without errors.

    This is what I got :

    see [pqh3k.jpg (18.6 KB)]

    Then I tried another method, which included copying the java files to a folder and compiled them manually using commandLine. Then made an html file and put the reference to the SingleLaneBridge.class file. Still I got a similar grey screen with the buttons. Then I tried again by downloading the pictures and the sound file (Note: All this time images and the sound file were called from the website):

    1)Red car

    2)Blue car

    3)Bridge

    4)Crash sound file

    Then I put the images in the folder where the notepad files were. The image and sound path(s) was set appropriately in the BridgeCanvas.java file so dont worry about that.

    After this I tried it out in Eclipse as well. But the same gray applet window with buttons showed up.

    I would like to see the cars and bridge in the applet, like in this site -> http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~jnm/book/bo...aneBridge.html.

    Thanks for your time.

    Where Do you have the 3 images and the sound file for the applet?

    Well when I tried in netbeans 6.8 and Eclipse also as you know already:
    1) Netbeans 6.8 - it was in the src folder (this src folder is inside the SingleLaneBridge folder)
    2) Eclipse - I put it in the SingleLaneBridge folder not the src folder

    I have tried programs which use images before (i mean java application programs). So far I have developed only java applications not applets. In those application programs the image things work.

    SideNote: Someone from another forum suggested to put the same images in all the folders and see if it appears. I did this too but it failed.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    OK SINCE YOU ASKED I NOW I TRIED IN ECLIPSE PUTTING THE IMAGES IN EACH FOLDER AND GUESS WHAT

    *****************************IT WORKED*************************************

    OK here is what I found:
    Mistake:

    Code:
    redCar = controller.getImage(controller.getDocumentBase(), "/redcar.gif");
    Corrected one:

    It should be (without the / slash within the double quotes- alternatively you can give the path if you like)

    Code:
    redCar = controller.getImage(controller.getDocumentBase(), "redcar.gif");

    Thank you once again NORM.

    Hope this benefits anyone as silly as me (:-)).




    Thanks
