Hi Trejkaz:
    I'm not quite sure I follow you.  The two lines of code, as seen below,
are within a mouseClick event.

URL url = getClass().getResource("images/explode.gif");
//'opponent' is an instance of JGrid
opponent.setIconAt(new ImageIcon(url), currentRowSelection,
currentColSelection);

Regardless of the function that runs these lines, the URL's scope is only
alive for the length of time the function is running.  Therefore, doesn't
the URL go dead and disconnect from the file?  Thereby allowing the gif
file to reset itself? And if you notice I create a new instance of the
ImageIcon each and every time the function is called.

Could you show me some sample code to demonstrate what you mean?
