BufferedImage in Java 3D

This did the trick:
        Image image = null;
        image = test3dKeyNavApplet.getImage(test3dKeyNavApplet.getCodeBase(), \"img.gif\");

        MediaTracker mediaTracker = new MediaTracker(test3dKeyNavApplet);
        mediaTracker.addImage(image, 0);
        mediaTracker.checkAll(true);
        try
        {
            mediaTracker.waitForID(0);
        }
        catch (InterruptedException ie)
        {
            ie.printStackTrace();
        }
        bufferedImage = new BufferedImage(128, 128, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
        int[] imagefield = ((DataBufferInt) bufferedImage.getRaster().getDataBuffer()).getData();


        PixelGrabber pg = new PixelGrabber(image, 0, 0, 128, 128, imagefield, 0, 128);
        try
        {
            pg.grabPixels();
        }
        catch (InterruptedException e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }


        imageComponent2D = new ImageComponent2D(ImageComponent.FORMAT_RGBA, bufferedImage);

        Background background = new Background(imageComponent2D);
