Need Help with Importing Image

assume an image called "die_no_3.jpg", how does one display this image within an applet if a randomly generated number yields the integer 3?

thanks

Perhaps store all of the images within an Image[]. Then use the random number as the index.

The random numbers would have to be in the range of the array of course. 0-array.length -1

Each time i refresh firefox i get a new image. :)

Code:

---

import java.io.*;
 import java.awt.*;
 import java.util.*;
 import javax.swing.*;

 public class AppletEx extends JApplet{
  private Image image;
  private String[] filenames;
  private File imgdir;
  private int dirlength;
  private Random r;
  private int imageindex;
 
  public void init(){
  imgdir = new File("C:\\Pics");
  filenames = imgdir.list();
  dirlength = filenames.length;
  r = new Random();
  imageindex = r.nextInt(dirlength);
  image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(imgdir.getPath() + "//" + filenames[imageindex]);
  }
  public void paint(Graphics gfx){
  gfx.drawImage(image,50,50,this);
  }
 }
