GifImage error

This is my code: 
import greenfoot.*;  // (World, Actor, GreenfootImage, Greenfoot and MouseInfo)

/**
 * Write a description of class Stickman here.
 * 
 * @author (your name) 
 * @version (a version number or a date)
 */
public class Stickman extends Global
{
    private GifImage Img = new GifImage("stickman.gif");
    
    /**
     * Act - do whatever the Stickman wants to do. This method is called whenever
     * the 'Act' or 'Run' button gets pressed in the environment.
     */
    public void act() 
    {
        if (!IsJumping)
            setImage(Img.getCurrentImage());
    }   
}
It doesn't play the animation. I'm sure I wrote the filename correctly and it's been properly imported. Then if I try to re-compile or reset, it prints a message: "Constructor of the world is taking a long time...." I need to re-open my greenfoot to compile it. Yet the animation still wasn't played.

Are you certain the problem is to do with the use of GifImage? If you comment out lines 11, 19 and 20 does the problem go away?

The problem goes away if I don't create Stickman actor (after re-opening the Greenfoot). First time I open Greenfoot it compiles normally, then I tried to add Stickman actor. The animation doesn't play, and the I retry to re-compile but it prints that "Constructor of the world is taking a long time...." :/

NVM. You did say re-compile, which would exclude what I was saying here.

There is only one class named "Global" with all necessary variable declarations 
import greenfoot.*;  // (World, Actor, GreenfootImage, Greenfoot and MouseInfo)

/**
 * Write a description of class Global here.
 * 
 * @author (your name) 
 * @version (a version number or a date)
 */
public abstract class Global extends Actor
{
    public static boolean IsJumping = false;
    public static Stickman Runner;
}
Stickman is Global's subclass, I doubt if it's the cause. And there is no other classes (not yet), except imported GifImage class.

My next thought was checking the Global class. Are the fields being used anywhere at all, atm?

#
What field? I don't modify those variable anywhere, said I just have two classes atm (Global and Stickman).
danpost danpost

#
Either one. Ok. You do not modify them; but, do you even reference them at all as yet? Oh, and you must have a third class -- a World subclass.

This is my world declaration: 
import greenfoot.*;  // (World, Actor, GreenfootImage, Greenfoot and MouseInfo)

/**
 * Write a description of class White here.
 * 
 * @author (your name) 
 * @version (a version number or a date)
 */
public class White extends World
{

    /**
     * Constructor for objects of class White.
     * 
     */
    public White()
    {    
        // Create a new world with 600x400 cells with a cell size of 1x1 pixels.
        super(600, 400, 1); 
        Greenfoot.start();
    }
}
So I'm sure I haven't used them anywhere except on that stickman My gif image's dimensions is 150x81. Is that the possible problem?

Remove line 20. As of late, that has been causing some problems.

Nope. Still happens the same :/

Is that the total extend of your code in this scenario?

Those are all classes in the scenario atm (except GifImage class).

The problem goes away if I don't create Stickman actor (after re-opening the Greenfoot).
Nevertheless, could you try, as I suggested, commenting out lines 11, 19 and 20?

The problem's gone after I commented out those lines.
There are more replies on the next page.
