Thomas:

It won't work in applets in Netscape, but Component has a getResource()
mechansim that can be used.  Something like:

  URL url = this.getClass().getResource("image/ColoradoAvalanche.jpg");
  theImage = getToolkit().createImage((ImageProducer)url.getContent());

  mt = new MediaTracker(this);
  mt.addImage(theImage,0);

  try{
     mt.waitForAll(0);
  }
  catch(Exception ex){
     ex.printStackTrace();
  }

In this case "this" refers to an Applet which is really a panel. 
Components (and therefore Containers) also have createImage mechanisms
that you may wish to investigate.  There are also Applet specific image
loading mechanisms.
