Thread: Simple problem, please help!?!

why this isn't working?

Most common reason is the program is looking in the wrong place for the files.
Are the images in the folder where the program is looking for them?

If you can't tell if the program is looking in the correct place for the images, you can see where the program is looking by creating a File object with the path to an image file and print out the value of the File object's absolute path.

I don't follow links to files.

Did you print out the File object's path as I suggested? What printed? Was the path that printed where the image file is located?

I don't know what that image is supposed to show. Can you explain?

I'm done for tonight.

Did you print out the value of the File class's absolute path method to see where the program is looking for the image file?

which part don't you understand?
Create a File class object using the path to one of the image files
Call the println() method to print the File object's absolute path
Something like this:

File fke = new File(<PATH TO IMAGE FILE HERE>);
System.out.println("image's path="+fke.getTheMethodFromTheAPIdoc());

but its not working

Are you trying to get the program to work? The following is From post#2
Most common reason is the program is looking in the wrong place for the files.

The code like that in post#11 will show you where the program is looking.

Are the image files in the folder whose path is printed by the code from#11?

So instead of following Norm's advice on how to diagnose your problem you just want some magic to fix it.

Does your program find the files now?
