JButton icon problems

[Phill]

Hi guys.

I'm having a problem setting the icon on JButtons. Basically I have a 2d
array of ImageIcons and depending on certain criteria I want to set the icon
displayed on the JButton.

At the start of the program I load all the images (gif files) into the array
using:

cardImages[0] = new javax.swing.ImageIcon("/"+(i+2)+"h.gif");

and then to set the icon i'm using,

myButton.setIcon(cardImages[indexB][indexA]);

I'm not getting any error messages, but the images just won't display on the
buttons.

Anyone got any ideas?

You may need to load each image with a java.awt.MediaTracker first.

No, he uses ImageIcon, which does this. My guess is that the
constructed file names are wrong. Note the absolute path name beginning
with "/".
