Java problem, help?

I got this compile error, I can't get around!

Main.java:135: cannot find symbol

symbol: method drawImage(java.lang.String,int,int,Main)

location: class java.awt.Graphics

g.drawImage (backimage, 0, 0, this);

^

1 error

What's wrong with my code?

Update:

lol i just realised what i did. instead of

Image backimage;

backimage = getImage(getCodeBase(),imgUrlStr);

i did

String backimage;

backimage = imgUrlStr;

thanks Silent for pointing out it was a string.

thanks to other ppl for their help

this question is closed.

    You are trying to pass the Graphics.drawImage() method some parameters that are different from those it specifies. There are several overloaded versions of that method, but none of them take a String as the first argument; it's always an Image.

    Without seeing the code it's very difficult to say anything more. Your best course of action is probably to read up on the AWT API to learn how to use this method.
