So i am trying to use a GIF in my project and keep gett a error java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space at GifImage.loadImages(GifImage.java:127) at GifImage.<init>(GifImage.java:48) at GameOv.<init>(GameOv.java:11) at Birdy.signGameOv(Birdy.java:116) at Birdy.birdDead(Birdy.java:125) at Birdy.act(Birdy.java:152) I have imported the GifImage Class & made an actor class with the gif image set to it and this being my code in it

public class GameOv extends Actor
{
    GifImage myGif = new GifImage("GameOver.gif");
    /**
     * Act - do whatever the GameO wants to do. This method is called whenever
     * the 'Act' or 'Run' button gets pressed in the environment.
     */
    public void GameOv()
    {
        setImage(myGif.getCurrentImage());
    }   
}
and I am trying to use it in another class as a method that i can call upon when needed, in this way:

Sounds and images take the most toll on memory. Try to limit the number of references to these type objects. Also, if possible, try to size them down

Darn it ok... it regards to the code, was it ok?

Well, I massively recompressed the gif and got it to stop crashing. When my bird dies (as shown in the code) the GIF shows, but doesn't play the gif?

No act method in GameOv actor to run animation.

    signGameOver(); //what should be animating the gif when bird dies
    Greenfoot.stop();
}
The image will pop up when bidy dies, but it will not generate throught the GIF

Is GameOver the same thing as GameOv? If it isn't then you will have to show the code for the class you are using. If it is the same then why is the class you showed called GameOv and the used Actor (in Bird) called GameOver?

public void silentBirdDead()
{
    getWorld().addObject(new GameOver(), getWorld().getWidth()/2,getWorld().getHeight()/2);
    Greenfoot.stop();
}
im adding the GameOver(this is the GIF) into the world when bird dies. The image does come up when the bird dies but the GIF doesnt play. I imported the GIFImage class //as other class and then this is the code for the GameOver class that pertains to the GIF

The act method won't execute if you do Greenfoot.stop(). My last post was just commenting on the change of the class name which was GameOv but GameOver was called in Bird class.

my fault, sorry about that. so I removed the Greenfoot.stop(), but still does not play through the gif?

Do you know for sure that you have a good .gif, does it work fine regularly? If the answers are positive then show the full Bird class code.

if I right click and do new GameOver() and drag it into the world scenario then click run, the gif will work.

That's why I wanted to see the (FULL) code. In the Bird class press Ctrl+A (Cmd+A) to select everything then Ctrl+C (Cmd+C) to copy it. I didn't see you changed your post.
