Hi everyone, one question:  
if I have an array of images, for example  
PImage [] dogs = new PImage [4]  
then inserting each image:  
dogsOne = loadImage ("");

then when I have to insert my images in image (… 0,0,100,100);  
how do I insert the array?

Why I tried to insert it by putting = dogs but it says “impossible to insert array”

Thank you

**before setup()**

` PImage [] dogs = new PImage [4];`

**in `setup()`:**

```auto
dogs[0] = loadImage ("test1.jpg");
dogs[1] = loadImage ("test2.jpg");
dogs[2] = loadImage ("test3.jpg");
dogs[3] = loadImage ("test4.jpg");

```

**Display an image in draw()**

in draw() or anywhere `image(dogs[0], 30,30);`

for example when you have an image array for the levels

image(dogs[levelNumber], 33,33);
