We'll need to see more code.
What are ballImage and ball_IMG_ICON ?
How was ball_IMG_ICON initialized ?

pbl The tutorial he linked to had everything you needed.

OP, I just ran that code in the tutorial just fine. The only thing I had to do was actually add ball.png. That package that you are referencing does not look familiar to me. You have changed it in some way that you have not said. Also, the other error may be due to the Java version you're running. What version are you running?

I'm the one who approved the tutorial

It works. You have edited it incorrectly somewhere. Show us the modifications you made to the original code. Also, look at my last post.

Now you ask the OP to show his code. Make up your mind Stephen

i'm using netbeans 6.9 ..
and here is the code i've written with my own hands ..:

package animation;

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.*;
/**

 */
public class mainPanel extends JPanel {

    public static void prepareImage(image ballImage, mainPanel aThis) {
        throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not yet implemented");
    }

    public static class image {

        private static image getImage() {
            throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not yet implemented");
        }

       
    }
 
         public image ballImage;
     ball currentBall = new ball();

    public mainPanel(){
        ImageIcon ballImageIcon = new ImageIcon("ball.png");
        ballImage = ballImageIcon.getImage();// this line has an error ..
        prepareImage(image.getImage(), this);
        currentBall.setX(10);
        currentBall.setY(10);
        setDoubleBuffered(true);
        ActionListener paintTimer = null;
        new Timer(15, paintTimer).start();
    }

  

    public void Paint(Graphics g){
        super.paint(g);
        Graphics2D g2d= (Graphics2D)g;
            g2d.drawImage(image.getImage(), currentBall.getX(), currentBall.getY(),this);
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().sync();  // this line has an error ..
g.dispose();
    }

    Action PaintTimer = new AbstractAction() {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
            currentBall.setX(currentBall.getX()+5);
            currentBall.setY(currentBall.getY()+5);
            repaint();
        }

        };


}

It's your modification.

 public image ballImage;

That indicates it wants an image that is of the "special" class that you made. However, getImage() returns a java.awt.Image. If you want to continue doing what you are doing, then you will have rewrite Java's Image system.

My advice to you is to totally delete the static inner "image" class. My suspection is that NetBeans made that class for you because it couldn't find a class called "image". Case is important. "image" != "Image"

 public Image ballImage;

is correct.

[pbl]

public image ballImage;

should be

public Image ballImage;

and I don't see why you added static classes and methods

You would be better to copy the whole tutorial
Make it work
Then start doing your modifications

ok .. i got the image mistake i've done ..
i'll try to copy paste the project 1st .. i'd tell u if something happens .. thanks alot 4 u both .. i really appreciate it ..

[deadsoul09]

sir , i've copied and pasted everything and there are no errors .. but when i run the project .. it shows a blank grey frame with no ball .. with nothing .. what's wrong i've done ?

[Dogstopper]

You forgot to load ball.png or aren't loading it correctly. Depends on the IDE.

[deadsoul09]

i copied and pated the tutorial .. it has noo errors .. should it load the ball automatically when i run ?? or should i write something on the runtime ??
