Hello again everyone, on my recent thread about my rock, paper, scissors program, I had trouble running it from Applet to JApplet and that problem was solved. So far, I've added many functions for the program such as menus, checking your score, resetting the score, and setting the number of games. So far everything looks great, but I'm having problems of making images of rock, paper, and scissors to appear and disappear when either the player or computer picks them. For example, if I click on the "Rock" button, the image of the rock should show on the player side excluding the paper and scissors images. This applies for the computer side as well. Here is what I have for the program:

At first, I've tried doing JLabel into ImageIcon and when I run it, it works perfectly fine, but when I run it on a web browser, the program never shows up. I've tried Firefox, Chrome, and IE and none of them works, However, when I added for example, "Image pRock" as well as instantiating it to getImagefile to getCodeBase, I added the g.drawImage in the paint method and that works correctly (Both when running it to JCreator and to my web browsers). Now the only problem is to make these images to appear and disappear and this is where I'm having some issues. I've tried doing Google search, but they're all talking mostly on Applets with images. Can anyone help me on this please? I did wrote a lot about this and I apologize for this, but I definitely need to know as to how I can do this to get a better understanding of JApplets. I hope you understand what I'm saying and if you want me to clarify, please let me know. Thanks.

I'm fairly sure the remove() method would work.

I'm fairly sure the remove() method would work.

Sorry for the late reply, but how would I use the remove() method in there? How would I make the image to appear again if either the rock. paper, or scissors button to be pressed again? Please let me know. Thanks!

I THINK that method will work with your image objects.
