I have a Card and Deck class. The Deck class features and arraylist of Card objects. I need to draw a random card from the Deck and display in a GUI label. I am trying to create a path to the JPG cards in the "deck" asset folder and for some reason the GUI component does not like the suit and rank value. May be variable scope issue.... Here is what I have inside the event for my button: path.concat(d.drawRandomCard().tostring()).concat(ftype). I have this code working in my non-GUI test class. I am trying to make View work with my models in an OOP way.

I am trying to build a path to a random card. For example, the 4 of Hearts would be located at path: deck/h04.jpg. I need to unpack or parse the Card object so that I can concatenate : deck/ + h + 04 + .jpg. For some reason the "h04" piece is not working in the GUI component.
Here is the tester class that I used to test Card and Deck. You can see that the path to the resources is working in the non-GUI version:
TestClasses
public class TestClasses {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Card c = new Card(3,12);
System.out.println(c.getRank());
System.out.println(c.getSuit());
System.out.println(c);
Deck d = new Deck();
System.out.println("Random card:" + d.drawRandomCard());
System.out.println("Random card rank:"+ d.store.getCardRank());
System.out.println("Random card suit:"+ d.store.getCardSuit());
System.out.println("Random card:" + d.drawRandomCard());
// we need to parse THIS instance of the random card to display it.
// A new card is removed each time the method is fired!
System.out.println("Random card:" + d);
System.out.println("Card Suit:" + c.getCardSuit());
System.out.println("Card Rank:" + c.getCardRank());
System.out.println("Random card:" + d.drawRandomCard().toString());
System.out.println("Random card:" + d.drawRandomCard().getSuit());
System.out.println("Random card:" + d.drawRandomCard().getRank());
System.out.println("Random card:" + d.drawRandomCard().getCardSuit()+"Hello");
System.out.println("Random card:" + d.drawRandomCard().getCardRank()+"09");
System.out.println("Random card rank:"+ d.store.getCardRank());
System.out.println("Random card suit:"+ d.store.getCardSuit());
System.out.println(d);
String drawncard = d.store.getCardSuit().toString()+d.store.getCardRank().toString();
System.out.println("Card pulled from deck:" + drawncard);
//System.out.println();
}
}
