Two things are relevant here: 1. The variables of an object get initialized at creation of the object. 2. An actor gets put into the world only after it has been created. Therefore, line 11 "int x = getX();" will call method getX() when the background actor gets created. At this point, the actor is not yet in the world, therefore getX will throw the mentioned error. Question for solving the problem: What do you need methods getXB and getYB for? Can't you just use getX() and getY() there directly? Live long and prosper, Spock47

The first problem (as already addressed) is that the actor is not in the world when the variables are initialized; so, errors will ensue. The second one is that the variables are never updated. The lines 11 and 12 are only execute once -- during the creation of the object (as already stated). The values are only initially set by what follows the equal signs; they do not automatically update when the actor moves. Since the actor(s) needing this one's coordinates must already have a reference to this actor, then you have no need for extra code in this actor's class. Just use something like this in the action code of those actor(s):

int backgroundX = referenceName.getX();
int backgroundY = referenceName.getY();

(where referenceName is the variable name holding the background instance in those other classes). The class can simply be the following:

import greenfoot.*;

public class background extends Actor
{
    public void act() {
        setRotation(90);
        if (Greenfoot.isKeyDown("up")) {
            move(2);
        }
        if (Greenfoot.isKeyDown("down")) {
            move(-2);
        }
    }
}

Please provide the code in your background class. Would be good to provide the code for your world (the class extending World) also. In addition, please provide the code to the longen class.

All these classes seem to extend a longen class. You certainly must have one, or the code checking would have told you it was missing.

I did notice one issue. In both the longen_onderkant and longen_top classes, the check to remove all instances of its type from the world should be the last if in the act block. The first attempt to execute a move call after all instances were removed will fail for actor not in world. My long-standing concern is the reference to background.in lines 11 and 12 in the longen_middel class. I do not see how it could reference an instance of the background class (at lest not straight off). As far as I can tell, it is just a class name (which you cannot perform a getX or getY method on. Until I know what all is involved, I cannot truly know what to do to resolve the issue. That is why I need to see these parent classes.
