I can fix one of your problems...

g.drawImage(lion,x,y,->null<-);

THe final paramater to drawImage needs to be of type ImageObserver or null.

Good luck

Umm.... don''t you need to extend Applet or Frame or something?

Image lion = getImage(getCodeBase(),"LION1.gif");
Your class needs to extend Applet for this line to be okay.

If you don''t want an Applet, use
Image lion = getToolkit().getImage("LION1.gif");
is used in apps, but have to extends Frame etc..

Also make sure to import java.awt.Image , or nothing will work at all... Todd.

thanks for your help everyone

yes, I do need an applet. I had been assuming that

applets and applications were mutually exclusive.

Now that I know I can use applets in my application

things will be much easier for me.

Sorry I''m a bit thick, oh and lets not forget slow to

process...did I mention that I can''t draw anime style?
