Re: New to Java problem code line Up to now my simple programs work OK! However, every program with this line of code below won't work properly it appears that this line of code can't find my *.png files on my PC any help will be appreciated. The compiler doesn't find any errors in this line of code. private static String[] filename = {"b.png, x.png"}; private Icon[] pics = {new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource(filename[0])), new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource(filename[1]))};
