Hi, I am trying to make an sound file in an actor loop when it has finished playing. 
gp1 = new GreenfootSound("goodplane.wav");
gp1.playLoop();
that is currently what I have but ofcourse it just constantly loads and loops the sound file constantly making the sound play. How can I fix this?

The easiest way is by putting the GreenfootSound object in an instance field (after the Actor class declaration statement, or header), which would only involve moving your line 1 above outside of the method. Then, within the method, use
if (!gp1.isPlaying()) gp1.play();

Ok you have lost me there, do I need to put this into a new "void"?

I was suggesting it be just a seperate statement within the act() method; although you could create a new method with this one statement and call it from act with something like 'checkSound();', which is pointless (other than slightly making your act method cleaner).

A what now? They're called methods. 'void' is just the return type! :)
