thank you ..:)

No. That code is for the actor that displays the Level number. It has nothing to do with detecting the conditions for changing levels and the block of code with it. What code do you have that checks to see if all dimes have been eaten? and what code do you have for when all dimes have been eaten?

Oh. BTW, I left the best parts of the story out (felt they would be inappropriate).

i am talking about other problem not this one

With my last sentence I meant, if you make 'getTop' working, then you have these instances to call the other methods on, so it gives the solution, if the others are working, as they are described in the API. But true, I didn't express this really accurately due to my bad English... Well, I hope you will succeed in implementing it! :)

thank u ^bread^

Show the code you tried to use to make the fishes move.

Since nobody actually mention anything about 'void', I will say this: 'void' is the absence of a data type; similar to how 'null' is the absence of an object. I do not know of any other use for 'void' other than as a return type in a method declaration statement.

murraycod, please use code tags and fix your indentation.

In the object that you can click, you put this in the 'act' method: <Code Omitted>With 'clock' as the reference to the clock object. Maybe you save the reference in the world. Then you need to use this reference. In this case, the 'Clock' class needs to have a method called 'add'. Try it yourself as far as you can and then tell us with what exactly you need help.

Okay thankyou ill start from scratch

Alright. I just found it out by chance. Btw, @davmac, did you see this thread? I hoped for an official statement there :) http://www.greenfoot.org/topics/find/44287

@Spock, to possibly save time in resolving problems, from now on, please show the entire error message using copy/paste operations. Showing the trace thread with the error message would have pointed us to exactly what was going on immediately (instead of searching through the code to find what might be wrong). In fact something as simple as the index '580' (or whatever) at the end of the error message might have helped in itself; but, still, the more information you give, the better.

Thanks for that :)

Break the 'menu' down into simple parts that you can work with. For example, a menu has the following: (a) a background -- with possible texts and/or images; and (b) buttons -- actors that perform specific functions when clicked The menu background can be a world canvas or it can be an actor that is added behind the buttons. I have found that it is easiest the create a separate world for the menus. Having a separate world for the menu keeps it separate from your main world (no need to track objects that need removed due to the menu) and it keeps your main world from running while the
