and

Image img = getImage("http://www.audizine.com/gallery/uploads/85/bird.jpg");

what 'imports' are you using?

[tigabalm]

package zoo;
import sim.*;
import uwcse.graphics.*;
import java.awt.Image;
import java.lang.*;

Are your args correctly typed for getImage?

Does it need to be a URL instead of a String?

[voodooA4]

getImage takes a URL class argument, not a string (unless you use the 2nd prototype, which takes a URL and a string)...

how about something like this:
Image img = getImage(URL("http://www.audizine.com/gallery/uploads/85/bird.jpg"));

[tigabalm]

voodoo: says cannot resolve symbol, symbol: method URL (java.lang.String)

any ideas?

thanks

sorry...try adding:

import java.net.URL

[tigabalm]

still not working...

imported the above and have this:

Image face = getImage(URL("http://www.audizine.com/gallery/uploads/85/bird.jpg"));

and the error is the same as before... do i need to call URL method somewhere else?

thanks

[tigabalm]

what about using the ShapeImpl method?

hmm...my java skills are pretty limited, I dunno how much more I can help other than guessing...

the only other thing I could tell you to try is (if it's an applet) to make an ImageViewer class, like so:

ImageViewer myImage("http://www.audizine.com/gallery/uploads/85/bird.jpg");

I'll keep looking around, and let you know if I find anything else...
