Images works on an applet, but doesn't work when an applet is in a JFrame.

i understand that, but can't figure out, how to load images only once.

i do load same image for all blocks. and sometimes when the ball hits a block, errors appears:

Code :

My paint method:

Code :

---

public void paint(Graphics g){
//background
		try {
			url_bg = getClass().getResource("bg.png");
			bg = ImageIO.read(url_bg);
		} catch (IOException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		g.drawImage(bg, 0, 0, this);
 
//ball		
		ball.Draw(g);
 
//paddle
 
		try {
			url_paddle = getClass().getResource("paddle.png");
			paddle = ImageIO.read(url_paddle);
		} catch (IOException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		g.drawImage(paddle, paddle.x, paddle.y, this);
 
//blocks
 
		for(Block b : blocks){
			b.draw(g);
			try {
				url_block = getClass().getResource("block.png");
				block = ImageIO.read(url_block);
			} catch (IOException e) {
				// TODO Auto-generated catch block
				e.printStackTrace();
			}
			g.drawImage(block, b.x, b.y, this);
 
		}

My update method (find this on youtube, to reduce/remove flickering in an applet):

Code :

---

private Image dbImage;	
private Graphics dbGraphics;
 
public void update(Graphics g){
		if (dbImage == null)
		{
			dbImage = createImage(this.getSize().width, this.getSize().height);
			dbGraphics = dbImage.getGraphics();
		}
 
		dbGraphics.setColor(this.getBackground());
		dbGraphics.fillRect(0, 0, this.getSize().width, this.getSize().height);
 
		dbGraphics.setColor(this.getForeground());
		paint(dbGraphics);
		g.drawImage(dbImage, 0, 0, this);
 
	}

Are you changing a List while iterating through it?
Have you read the API doc for that exception? Its doc is in with the doc for all the classes.

if i understand what u asking, then:
i have array list of blocks (bricks).
when an applet is running blocks are destroying by a ball collision. So yes, list are changing while the game is playing.

so, how to load images only once?

edit: i fixed lag, by putting ImageIO.read methods to my init() method,

Don't load them twice.
Put the load of the images in a method that is only called one time.
Define the image variables as class variables.

ok, done, this one is SOLVED.
Big thanks to Norm. :)
