First you need to know if the actor hits the edge of the world using a mehtod like this:

public boolean atWorldEdge() {
    if(getX() < 20 || getX() > getWorld().getWidth() - 20) {
        return true;
    }
    if(getY() < 20 || getY() > getWorld().getHeight() - 20) {
        return true;
    }
    else {
        return false;
    }
}
If this method return true you have to change the worldbackground like this:
?

((YourWorld) getWorld()).setBackground("filename.png"); //YourWorld has to be the classname of your world class.
Im not sure if the cast is necessary but it should work this way.

My world is named Background, I want to set the file to test.png I have replaced everything and tried it out and it won't compile. Says unreachable statement.

'unreachable statement' error will only show when you place code somewhere where the logical execution of the method results in never being able to get to the statement indicated; possibly due to a 'return' statement before it. Check the logic of the method the error occurs in.

Line 52 is not reachable because you have a 'return' statement immediately before it.
