I'm trying to move my sprites

[ti_gui_452]

I'm making a game and I try to move sprites but it doesn't work at all. I did the following:

Sprite Cursor;
(...)
Cursor = new Sprite(Image.createImage("/Cursor.PNG"));
(...)
Cursor.setPosition(One.getX()+5,One.getY()+5);
Cursor.paint(gc);
(...)
Cursor.setPosition(Two.getX()+5,Two.getY()+5);

It doesn't crash but it doesn't change anything

hi,

make sure your graphics object is not null (you could have nullPointerException not trapped for some reason),
make sure that sprite is drawn within graphics content clip rectangle,
make sure your sprite is visible - if not visilbe it wont be drawn

try following that tutorial:
http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/20...e3.html?page=1
(which uses Sprite.paint(g) in source code),

off: do not use uppercase for object instances:
http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/ht....doc8.html#367

In fact, my graphic object IS null. But I don't understand why because when I use it with something else than sprites, it is not null and it works. What should I do?

hi,

divide at impera,
divide your existing code into smaller parts to digg why you are working with null-ified object,
usually it means that they are not initialized at all (having default value then),
