You can create a constructor in the Note class that takes a parameter which tells it which image to use (you can have more that one constructor, but they all have to either except a different number of parameters or parameters of different types; i.e. int, String, Color, float, boolean, etc). In your case, you already have a variable that has a distinct value in each of the Key class objects (whether it is called value, tone, key, or note). So, if you add a parameter to the method signature to recieve that 'key' information (sorry for the pun), you can pass it along to the Note constructor by adding a parameter there also. The constructor can then, depending on the value of the parameter, determine what image to use. If you use a String variable, then if an empty string is passed, create one image, else create another. Just one question: does the Key class have an image of its own (or two, does it extend Actor)?

Thank you danpost for your reply. Yes, the Key class does provide specific images (white key or black keys) when the keys are constructed. I guess I should look at that code and adapt it for my purposes. That "one last question" was Colombo-esque in its pertinence. Thank you again.
