I've gotten image to load up properly if I do it all in one file, and it showed up properly. Now I'm trying to implement it into a class, so I can create multiple objects of it. I've "highlighted" important code by surrounding it with comments. I'm pretty sure I'm using "this" wrongly, but I don't know anything about "this". Here is my error: cannot find symbol symbol : method drawImage(java.awt.Image,int,int,Player) location: class java.awt.Graphics window.drawImage(img, xPOS, yPOS, this); Thanks in advance, Adamski PlanetEdge.java

The last parameter you are passing is your own Player class. It should be a class that implements ImageObserver if I'm not mistaken.

You're correct - in the context you are using it, "this" is your Player instance. The method is expecting an ImageObserver reference, which would be the frame or panel that contains your graphics context. You might be able to pass a null for that parameter, but if you get flaky painting results you will probably need to supply a reference to the component that supplied your Graphics context. Since drawImage() returns immediately, perhaps before the image is completely redendered, the ImageObserver allows components to monitor the completion of that image.

Short answer, try using null for that parameter and see if everything looks fine =)

Or you could joust add a need of a JFrame, set it to be the observer and call it with "this" in the main program (since you are using a JFrame).
