Loading animated GIF in JLabel weirdness

Question

I\'m trying to load an animated GIF in a JLabel.

While this works:

URL urlsd;
try {
    urlsd = new URL(\"http://pscode.org/media/starzoom-thumb.gif\         


        

Answer 1

Below code worked for me, it will show the animation instead of first frame of the image.

public class Test extends JPanel {
    public Test() {
        ImageIcon yyyyIcon = new ImageIcon(xxx.class.getClassLoader().getResource("yyyy.gif"));
        connectionLabel.setIcon(yyyy);   
    }
}
