Hi
I think that you can use Applet.getCodeBase(), which will return a URL for
the location of the applet. Then, you can add the rest of the URL onto that
and use Applet.getImage(). For example:
URL u = new URL(getCodeBase() + "/img.jpg");
You can only call this from applet methods such as init(). The trick here is
to have a global URL variable. If you run as an applet, use the above line
of code to place the correct URL into your global variable. If you are
running it as an application, you should also assign the URL in a method
that isn't called by the applet, i.e. the main() method. When you are ready
to actually retrieve your image(maybe in a getTexture() method), you use the
global URL.
