Thread: 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.
