Image Icon Disply Problem

[javanoob101]

Hello!

I have to make a "Dice Applet" for school. It is all finished but the dice pictures do not display properly. It only appears in a line (not the full image.) But they seem to display fine if you maximize the applet then restore the applet to its original size.

Can some body figure out how to solve this?

*Note: We have to use Image Icons (Although it would be easier to just get the image and draw it in the graphics class. which we were told to delete.)*

Thanks!

After calling setIcon, call validate and/or repaint on the component (or, even better, on the container that contains the component).

Thank-you masijade for your help!
I put in the validate(); command in my code, and now the images are displayed properly!

Thank-you so much!
