How do I move the object Square2 along the y-axis continually? What I mean is when it touches the top of the world, it goes down. Then, when it hits the bottom, it moves back up.
Thanks in advance!

How to move on the y-axis
//add this variable 1st private int moving; //then in the constructor moving = 10 //add this to act() int groundLevel = getWorld().getHeight() - getImage().getHeight()/2; if(getY() == 5) moving = 10; if(getY == groundLevel) moving = 10; setLocation(getX(), getY() + moving);
Just tell it to do just that in the act method of the Square2 class; you only need one field to track the direction of movement (up or down: '-1' or '1').
The value of 'speed' in the last line can be hard-coded in place or declared as another field set to any positive value that is less than the value of 'buffer'.
// first declare the field(s)
private int direction = 1;
// then the act method
public void act()
{
int buffer = getImage().getHeight() / 2;
if (getY() < buffer || getY() > getWorld().getHeight() - buffer)
{
direction = -direction;
}
setLocation(getX(), getY() + direction * speed); // see note below
}Sorry, JetLennit -- I was working on this for a little while, debating adding the 'speed' variable or not. Forgot to refresh to see if anybody else posted before I posted.
It's fine, it is probably better that @OxiClean has more options to see which code he wants to use
