[Resolved]How do I display pictures in windows?

[ToriVerly]

I know this is a pretty dumb question...Don't ask what this window's for because it's totally random. I'm just trying to learn stuff lol. Anyway, I have a PNG pic called HEART in my graphics/pictures folder and I want it to appear in this window:

class Window_3 <Window_Base
  def initialize(actor)
    super(0, 300, 200, 120)
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width-32, height-32)
    @actor = $game_party.actors[3]
    refresh
  end
  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    draw_actor_graphic(@actor, 20, 60)
    draw_actor_name(@actor, 80, 0)
    [B]bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture(HEART)[/B]
  end
end

I get this error:
'Script "Window_3" line 15: NameError occured.
uninitialized constant Window_3::HEART'
I'm a newbie please tell me what I did wrong.

Thats because HEART should be in quotations like so:-

class Window_3 <Window_Base
  def initialize(actor)
    super(0, 300, 200, 120)
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width-32, height-32)
    @actor = $game_party.actors[3]
    refresh
  end
  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    draw_actor_graphic(@actor, 20, 60)
    draw_actor_name(@actor, 80, 0)
    bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture("HEART")
  end
end

That quotes will fix the error, but it will still not show the picture.
Use this:

class Window_3 <Window_Base
  def initialize(actor)
    super(0, 300, 200, 120)
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width-32, height-32)
    @actor = $game_party.actors[3]
    refresh
  end
  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    draw_actor_graphic(@actor, 20, 60)
    draw_actor_name(@actor, 80, 0)
    bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture("HEART")
    self.contents.blt(x, y, bitmap, Rect.new(0, 0, bitmap.width, bitmap.height))
  end
end

Change x, y for the coordinates you want.
