Oops, that was the wrong script. I posted the right one here!

You probably need to create a subclass of Actor for the object; create the base image in the constructor; add a field for the text; create a method that create an image of the text, draws it on the base image and sets it to the actor; add a boolean field to represent focus state; add code to the act method to check for focus, and if focused, check keyboard input and adjust the text and update the image as needed.

I wonder who told you that (unreliable source?). There is no 'updateImage' method in the Greenfoot class at all.

Please show the complete error output you got.

Yes, it is. Why not?

thank you!! easier than I thought, thanks so much

With a gif image, there is a method which automatically gets the next image. You can obviously do everything which a gif image can with "normal" images and some code, too.

Add an int variable which you can use as a timer. Set it to some number whenever a shot is fired. Each act cycle, you decrease that number if it above 0 and only if it is 0, you can shoot. (Obviously you can also increase it and do it the other way around.)

The constructor is executed when the object is created, before it is added to the world. That's why your 'world' variable is never anything else then 'null'. If you really want to save a reference to the world in your enemy class, you can add the 'addedToWorld' method: <Code Omitted> Maybe you can also use this (try it out, I am not sure): <Code Omitted>

You can find the images in the 'Greenfoot/lib/greenfoot/imagelib' folder.

I fixed it! I moved the 'Space a=(Space) getWorld();' line in act() when the user presses `SPACE`. Now everything works fine! Thanks Super_Hippo! Thanks danpost!

Thank youu

When you get the target location, compare the x and y to the size of your world, so if it is negative or 8 or higher, instead of moving, you print out a message (or create an object which uses an image with the message).

I don't know if there is a more easier way, but I would probably create a new image for each line and then draw all these images below each other on one image which the object can use.

Or can some pro help me to translate the texts of java to stride?
