I am trying to a sprite image from a sprite mesh using BufferedImage and ImageIO. There is a separate class which handles the loading and storing of sprite images; this is where the problem seems to be. I load the sprite mesh into a BuffereImage using ImageIO, and for some reason this, intermittently, prevents paintComponent from being executed. When the program actually does load the program displays properly, however, the key listener stops working. I am using NetBeans 7.3 if that helps.
