    Question Can't load image from folder. ImageIcon

    Hi everyone. I'm trying to load and image to a program but for some reason it's not working.

    Main code:
    package javdrawimagetst;
    import javax.swing.JFrame;
     
     
     
    public class JavDrawImagetst {
     
     
     
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            JFrame w = new JFrame("Images");
            w.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            w.setSize(640, 480);
            Screen s = new Screen();
            w.add(s);
            w.setVisible(true);
     
     
     
        }
    }

    csecond class:
    package javdrawimagetst;
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
     
     
     
     
     
    public class Screen extends JPanel{
     
        private Image youLost;
     
        public Screen(){
            loadImages();
        }
     
     
     
        public void loadImages(){
            youLost = new ImageIcon("You_lostPNG.png").getImage();
            repaint();
     
     
        }
     
     
     
        public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
            super.paintComponent(g);
     
            g.setColor(Color.RED);
            g.fillRect(32, 32, 65, 76);
            g.drawImage(youLost, 32, 54, this);
     
     
        }
     
    }

    The image is in the folder. Is it because I'm trying to draw on a paintcomponent?

    When does the image youLost get added to the JPanel?

    ahh, I forgot that, but how would you do that? I tryed this, to make it a label since JPanel doesn't seem to accept Image objects:
        ImageIcon i=new ImageIcon("You_lostPNG.png");
        Image scaleImage=i.getImage().getScaledInstance(70,70,Image.SCALE_DEFAULT);
        ImageIcon ii=new ImageIcon(scaleImage);
        JLabel pic=new JLabel(ii);
        panel.add(pic);

    But it didn't work.
