Hi, I'm trying to make a game using Greenfoot, and I need to have the background change whenever I click on an arrow. I'm quite new to Greenfoot, and I need the simplest possible answer. I have the clicking arrow code in, but I do not know how to change the background. I need help, and I need it rather soon.

The World class has a 'setBackground(GreenfootImage)' method. The GreenfootImage class has several constructors you can use to create the image to set the background with. The easiest one to use is the GreenfootImage(String) constructor which accepts the name of an image file. So, in the Arrow class (if that is what you called it), use 
getWorld().setBackground(new GreenfootImage("nameOfImageFile.png"));

Hi danpost, Thanks for the response, but I'm afraid it doesn't work. When I click the arrow, it comes up with a box which tells me it could not find the file. Any suggestions?

Did you import the image file into your scenario folder?
