How to get .gif picture in Java Frame?

[Zhao]

Hi,
I made a Java program that I want to insert a .gif into my frame
window. It can be shown through appletviewer in the local machine, but
it can't be displayed from index.html.

insert into a frame window:
class frame1 extends Frame
{
Image picture = getToolkit().getImage("pic.gif");//pic.gif is on
current directory

public void paint (Graphics page)
{
page.drawImage (picture, 50, 100,200,50, this);

}//method paint()
}

Another applet class that can invoke the frame1 is embeded in a
index.html. When run the index.html, the picture is not displayed. Can
anybody tell me how to get the picture from index.html?
Thanks.

I had been using this method without any problems for some jpg files but
recently I had a problem with it. For some reason, it would just fail to
finish loading my image. (1.4.2 under Windows XP). When I tried to print
the image using Graphics2D.drawImage(), the method was returning false.

I could not find any reason for this issue, and I switched to using:

Image picture;
try
{
picture = ImageIO.read(new File("picture.jpg"));
}

and it worked. I haven't changed all my code, so the places where I was
using getToolkit().getImage(); are still there and working for the
images I am loading with it.

I just thought I'd mention it in case the OP has a problem.
