The method Greenfoot.getRandomNumber needs a parameter. You can't just write Greenfoot.getRandomNumber() but you have to use Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(int). In your case you probably need a random number from 0 to the worlds width (-1). So you can use Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(getWorld().getWidth()), ...

By placing the 'setLocation' statement with the 'getRandomNumber' call in the 'act' method, the object will erratically jump vertically until a new world is set due to the 'getX()<=20' or the 'getX()>=getWorld().getWidth()-1' checks. The initial location should be set when the object is added into the world.
