Alright folks,

I'm obviously missing something simple here.  In the rather trivial
example that follows, the image is never shown on the screen. If I
comment out the offScreenGraphics.drawImage statement and uncomment
the offScreenGraphics.drawString statement the string will show
correctly.

I know that the url and images names are ok, because the image
displays correctly if I don't double buffer.

Any idea what is going on????

Thanks,

Rich

       offScreenGraphics = offScreenImage.getGraphics();

       cam1Image = getImage(myurl, cam1);
       offScreenGraphics.drawImage(cam1Image, 0, 0, 400, 300, this);
//    offScreenGraphics.drawString("A Test",30,30);
       }

    g.drawImage(offScreenImage, 0, 0, 400, 300, this);
    }

  public void update(Graphics g)
    { paint(g); }
}
