Subclass method

How to use/add a method in the subclass when it's not present in the superclass(Actor)? The constructor in the subclass calls the superclass constructor so it uses the superclass act() method where the subclass method is not present. So, it's not working.

Create an act method in the subclass and it will override the act method of the superclass. In its own act method, it can use all methods from that class.

yes I did it, this way it works, but for this i have to write all the superclass act() methods in the subclass act() which I do not want, is there any other way ?

In the subclass's act method, you can call the superclass's act method using 'super.act();'. 
public void act()
{
    //something all subclasses do
    super.act();
    
    //something only this subclass does
    //....
}
