I think what you need is to put the following in your World1 act method:

if (counter.getValue() == 100) Greenfoot.setWorld(new Level2());

This is assuming that you have a 'Counter counter' field declared within that class that is assigned the Counter object you created and added into the world.

In your Counter class, you probably have methods to in-/decrease the value. This method could look like this:

public void add(final int s)
{
    value += s;
    //here you can add the line:
    if (value > 99) Greenfoot.setWorld(new Level2());
    updateImage();
}

Or, if you always add 1.

public void add()
{
    value++; // or value-- if the value should decrease from something to 100 (probably not though)
    if (value == 100) Greenfoot.setWorld(new Level2());
    updateImage();
}

@Super_Hippo, your suggestion would work provided you only ever create the one counter whose value will lead to a Level2 world. In more general terms, by placing the code to proceed to the next world in the Counter class, you are taking away the re-usability of the Counter class. The Counter class provided with greenfoot was not intended to be modified. Multiple counters can be created from the class when not modified. That is, you can have one or more of any type counters including scores, health value displays, timers etc, -- all from the same class. Placing the code to change worlds in the subclass of World that preceeds Level2 is more logical and preserves the Counter class.

@kev, maybe you should look over my Value Display Tutorial scenario. It contains pretty much all you need to know about counters.
