How do I load an image and where do I place the image file, in which directory?

example:  
public PImage img;

public void setup(){  
img = loadImage(“image.png”);  
}

public void draw(){  
image(img , 0, 0, 64, 64);  
}

I created the folder and placed the image inside but it still returns above error

@soet_za ===  
have you imported your app inside AS in the corect way? - I mean “from existing code”??? - If yes AS has created a folder for your data (it is the assets folder) and your image is here…
