Hi all.
What I'd like would be two classes:

public class Main extends java.applet.Applet
{
Room current_room;
.....
}

and

public class Room extends java.applet.Applet
{
//loads images
public void Paint(Graphics g)
{
g.drawImage(//loaded images...);
}
}

I have this working _provided_ the images are loaded through Room's
constructor Room, something like

Room(Images[]), when Main does

current_room=new Room(Images[]); in its init method.

I would like Room to load its images on its own. I tried loading them
in Room(), in init(), in Paint(), devising a custom loading function,
but nothing works. I'm fairly sure the images are loaded, as catch
doesn't return any problems, but they won't draw _except_ if the images
are loaded through Room()'s constructor.

Is this construct wrong? (if so, sorry, I am a two-day old java "coder"
) If it ain't, what am I missing?

Thank you all!

Post an SSCCE[1] (with URL) to c.l.j.help[2] and I will provide assistance.
But please first read the info on applets[3], painting[4] and
image loading[5] and tracking[6] first.

Thank you; I wasn't aware of c.l.j.h - I will post there a short
compilable code.
