Media Tracker - Java Sample Program

//The following code snippet illustrates how to use a MediaTracker to wait while an image is prepared:
//file: StatusImage.java

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class StatusImage extends JComponent
{
boolean loaded = false;
String message = "Loading...";

g.drawString(message, 20, 20);
}
}

public void loaded() {
loaded = true;
repaint();
}

public void setMessage( String msg ) {
message = msg;
repaint();
}

public static void main( String [] args ) {

StatusImage statusImage = new StatusImage( image );

frame.add( statusImage );
