You just need to let the compiler know that the returned object of 'getOneObjectAtOffset' is indeed a Box object. The method is designed to return an Actor

What kind of side-scroller are you trying to create -- one that scrolls continuously regardless of any actor in the world or one that follows a specific actor? I will presume that this is for your Pengu project, in which case it follows an actor and scrolling occurs when the actor has passed a specific limit toward the right only. That is, no matter how far pengu is allowed left, no scrolling will occur (pengu would just be limited to some nominal x-coordinate value). So, anytime the world "sees" that pengu is on the ri

Cheers for your help guys , sorry I didn't replay sooner, I was away for the weekend :)

You cannot programmatically change the font used by the World class method 'showText' or the GreenfootImage constructor 'GreenfootImage(String, int, Color, Color)'. However, my TextImage Support Class scenario can be studied or the TextImage class from it can be used directly to create TextImage objects (which ARE GreenfootImage objects) when the class is included in your project.

thnx

Then change line 50 of the Pengu class to this: <Code Omitted>

Thank you, it worked!

Try replacing line 36 of the Goldfish class with this: <Code Omitted>

ok, everything executed properly when I added "pear." in the appropriate spots. Thanks a lot for the help.

After line 26 in the Balloon class (where you are removing the balloon from the world), add a 'return;' statement so execution of further statements in the method are not attempted.

I was thinking of something more along these lines (this is not equivalent to your new code as you have made some major changes):

It depends on the context that it is being used. Will need to see the method that line is in plus the RunWorld class code (at least).

If you had the Hero2 object reference in an instance field and a method to return that Hero2 object in the City class: <Code Omitted>then you could remove it specifically with: <Code Omitted>

I guess that the 'if' statements can be combined as follows: <Code Omitted>

Your mouseClick needs to be on the actor, not on the image. Use 'this' to refer to the actor the act method is executing for. I do not believe you need to reset the image to the actor (your last code line).
