title: ImageIcon display URL image
body: <p>I want to know if it is possible to load an array of ImageIcon to be loaded with images from an on line source so that the images are not stored locally. And is there a way to add a action listener to an array of buttons so that when they are pressed a new frame is opened. </p>
