Thread: Why doesn't this work?

So the purpose of this code is to simply open my jpg in an applet viewer. Im not sure why but when i run the code below, the applet pops up but it doesnt show anything (blank white screen). Any help?

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;


public class Set_up extends Applet
{
Image img;

public void init()
{
img = getImage(getDocumentBase(), "greek-flag.jpg");
}


public void paint(Graphics g)
{
g.drawImage(img,0,0,this);
}
}

One thought is that you should call super first.

super.paint(g);
as the first statement inside your paint method.
