Why does the Image class not have a constructor which takes a String? eg:
class Icon {
Point location;
static {
Image image = new Image("doc:///dir/filename");
}
public Icon(int x, int y) {
location.x = x;
location.y = y;
}
}
Because this class does not inherit from Applet, or have a handle on its applet (perhaps there is no applet because it is instantiated in an application), it does not have a getImage() method. Nor can Applet.getImage() be referenced statically. Short of writing an applet instead of an application, what can I do?
Any insight on this subject would greatly be appreciated!
