createImage issue

Newbie & Debugging Questions
#1

I’m new here (this is my first post) and a pretty big noob, just started programming and working with tutorials along with reading on Java, but I’m having an issue getting an image onto a button. I’m making a puzzle game that creates 12 cropped squares of an image that you can shuffle around to form the original picture.

Here’s the part I’m having problems with.

for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
			for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
				if (j == 2 && i == 3) {
					label = new JLabel();
					centerPanel.add(label);
				} else {
					button = new JButton();
					button.addActionListener(this);
					centerPanel.add(button);
					image = new createImage(new FilteredImageSource(source.getSource(), 
                          new CropImageFilter(j * width / 3, i * height / 4, (width / 3) + 1, height / 4)));
					button.setIcon(new ImageIcon(image));
				}
			}
		}

the image = new createImage() part is telling me createImage() doesn’t exist. Am I forgetting to import anything or am I calling and/or passing the wrong stuff?

any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

createImage is method, not a class that can be instanced. It’s owned by Toolkit class.

I’m an idiot lol! thanks!

Are you not using eclipse? it should scream about this :slight_smile:

#5

yeah, I am using Eclipse, but the flag it put up didn’t make sense to me. But it all makes sense now.

#6

It will when you hover your pointer to it. For small thing it’ll fix it for you, but not in this case ;D

Thanks for the help! I’ll be back with more stupid errors I’m sure, haha.
