Loading animated GIF in JLabel weirdness

Question

I\'m trying to load an animated GIF in a JLabel.

While this works:

URL urlsd;
try {
    urlsd = new URL(\"http://pscode.org/media/starzoom-thumb.gif\         


        

Answer 1

You can try loading your GIF file like that:

public class Test extends JPanel {
    public Test() {
        ImageIcon imageIcon =
          new ImageIcon(Test.this.getClass().getResource("starzoom-thumb.gif"));
    }
}

Or using Test.class.getResouce() if your context is static.
