Sound Not Working

I believe the Greenfoot method 'playSound' causes the sound to be looped automatically; and there is no control over that sound once it is started. Making a GreenfootSound object will allow the methods in its class to control the sound object. Just by using the method 'play', it will play just one time; there is no need to stop or pause it.

This is still making it loop: import greenfoot.*; // (World, Actor, GreenfootImage, Greenfoot and MouseInfo) /** * Write a description of class Boat here. * * @author (your name) * @version (a version number or a date) */ public class Boat extends Actor { private static GreenfootSound soundSound = new GreenfootSound("crack.mp3"); /** * Act - do whatever the Boat wants to do. This method is called whenever * the 'Act' or 'Run' button gets pressed in the environment. */ public void act() { if (getX() >1185) { move(-5); } if (getX() == 1185) { getWorld().addObject(new Label(), 400, 249); soundSound.play(); } } }

Ok. I think what is happening is that your actor is still at x=1185; and as soon as the sound stops, the code re-starts it. You may need to add a boolean field 'soundPlayed' to the code and set it to 'true' when starting the sound: You probably had a bunch of Label objects on top of each other also.
