I would not be difficult to have the platform move the actor when it moves, if the actor is on it. That way, the actor would still have independent movement on the platform. For the through the floor issue, use a 'for' loop to iterate through the number of individual steps in the move; checking for intersecting objects each step.

since "Managment" is the super class for all your other objects, it will used the constructor, it will alway set score to zero since it will inherit the Management constructor which will reset your public score variable. Two things I would try: 1) remove the score = 0 form the constructor in the Management constructor 2) change the public score ; declaration to private static score; // score is automatically set to zero cheers Takashi

thx :)

Use this statement: <Code Omitted>and add these variable, plus the following method: <Code Omitted>To re-run this timer, just set 'timerOn' back to 'true'.

I just realized that The pixels that were not black were getting colored.

In essence, the speed is a one pixel move. You are looking at the 4-way move method. The 'direction' field carries a value from 0 to 3; 0 = right, 1 = down, 2 = left and 3 is up. The first line in the code you posted breaks the value of 'direction' into the x and y offsets for a move in that direction; if direction = 0 (right), dx = 1 and dy = 0; if 1 (down) dx = 0 and dy = 1; if 2 (left), dx = -1 and dy = 0; and if 3, dx = 0 and dy = -1. The following 'if' block finds the next location to move to if already on the color of choice. The above was basically to clarify what the code was do

Why not just check? :)

Great that it works now! And davmac, you're exactly right: I also use MyWorld sometimes :)

Ty danpost, now the actor reachs the target every time, but sometimes when i click on another location after he reachs the target, he dont moves. cya DMKxD

this might help. <Video Omitted> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rXCs8NYDX4

is this what you mean <Video Omitted> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rXCs8NYDX4

Thank you both for your help. Without your help I do not thing I would have found "map". But I have discovered after many years of learning new things, that the best way to learn something is to ask an expert. I now have two maps: one mapping graphemes to objects, and one mapping keyboard keys to graphemes. So I end up with the quite interested & complex line... graphemeMap.get(kbdBindingMap.get(key)).play(); If in six months I still understand the above line, I will feel I am on my way to being an expert. Thank you.
