Well this doesn't tell us much, I think, except you had a null pointer
exception. It looks like it happened in the constructor of an object of
class "motion" in file "motion.java". In the initComponents() method,
you called ImageIcon with a null pointer (line 138, I think, check your
code).

You should use the debugger in NetBeans to find the problem.

If you need more help, some sample code would be needed. Make sure it's
a complete, compilable example or we won't be able to help you. Make
sure it's not too long, because no one is gong to read through some huge
program to debug it for you.
