I am more thinking along the line of haveing the "createImageIcon"
method to return an ImageIcon (image, and image desc) from the image
package, and we can load the country array with the images.getDesc.
something like this:
for (int i = 0; i < NUM_IMAGES; i++) {
image[i] = createImageIcon(imagePackage);
countries[i] = image[i].getDesc();
}
So, when the countries changes, we would only have to repalce the
flages in the imagePackage without having to change or recompile the
codes.
Just a though, I don't know how to implement the createImageIcon
method.
