OK, so instead of the above, try

public void act()
{
    if (Greenfoot.mouseClicked(this))
    {
        Board board = (Board) getWorld();
        board.pColor = 2;
        board.addObject(new GameInProgress(), 630, 365);
        board.CleanUpStartMenu();
    }
}

Cool, I'll test that out as well. Thanks again for all your help guys. Although it looks like everything is now working perfectly. Both issues, of calling a method from within a subclass, and removing any objects off the screen. Thanks again.

If you are calling a method that is not in the same class code as where you are calling from, then you must tell it (the compiler) where that method is located. In your case, the method was in the Board class (not just the World class). The methods inhereted from the world you can just say 'getWorld().methodName()'; but for methods you write in your Board class, you have to tell it '((Board) getWorld().methodName();', or it will not find it. The '(Board) getWorld()' part is what 'casts' the world returned to you Board class.

Wow, I kinda thought it was something along these lines, but with my attempts. I was better off just making a house out of matches and watching it burn.
