i want the picture to take place for my "square cars".

I assume you mean you want to replace the calls to fillRect() with a call to drawImage()
Read the image files into an image (see the ImageIO class) and use the drawImage method

yeah i already tried different ways with the ImageIO tool and none have worked culd u help me?

Post what you have tried. And the error messages you had.

Please edit your code and wrap it in code tags to preserve the formatting.
See: BB Code List - Java Programming Forums
Or use Go Advanced and use the # icon button above to right.

Image img=null;
try
{
img=ImageIO.read(new File("Leftp2.png");
catch(IOException e)

}

if(p2Direction==LEFT)
g.drawImage(img,p2.x,p2.y,this)


the error is:



Multiple markers at this line
- Syntax error on token(s), misplaced
construct(s)
- Syntax error, insert "}" to complete Block
- ImageIO cannot be resolved

g.drawImage(img,p2.x,p2.y,this);

You must have a catch with the try:
try{ YOUR CODE HERE }catch(Exception x) {x.printStackTrace();}

i do, dont i?

Not correctly coded. Look at the {}s

yeah u were right

i have this now

Image img=null;
try
{
img=ImageIO.read(new File("Leftp2.png"));

}
catch(Exception x)
{x.printStackTrace();}

if(p2Direction==LEFT)
g.drawImage(img,p2.x,p2.y,this);

but its still gives me this error:

ImageIO cannot be
resolved any help? thanks

Did you add the import for that class?

help please?

Please explain the problem

i guess i have a lot of the needed ones

Read the API doc for the ImageIO class and see what package it is in. It will be java. something.
