I have an object Timer and I need to put text image on it. I create and update this image in Timer class. But every time this text image goes behind the actor. How to bring text image to the front?

How to bring text image to the front
u need to add it to world last if that isn't possible u can try remvoving it and readding it in every act like this
public void act() {
World w = getWorld();
int x = getX();
int y = getY();
//only if it rotates
int r = getRotation();
w.removeObject(this);
w.addObject(this,x,y);
//only if it rotates
setRotation(r);
}
If Timer and Text are two different classes (which I guess), then you can put this in the constructor of your world:
If not, I don't see your problem. Maybe you could show your code of how you update the image.
setPaintOrder(Text.class, Timer.class);
Text is not a separate class, it is added in the class timer and updated in act() each time.
timerImage - is a String variable
timerObject - is an object of class timer.
I thought if text image is updated in act, then it will go above Timer object. But no.
GreenfootImage timerImage = new GreenfootImage(timer, 25, Color.BLACK, Color.WHITE);
getWorld().getBackground().drawImage(timerImage, timerObject.getX(), timerObject.getY());
You draw it on the background. The background will never be in front of any actor. Instead, you probably should draw the text on the image of the Timer.
Btw, 'timerImage' is not a String variable, it is a GreenfootImage.
I think you should try using the 'setPaintOrder' statement Super_Hippo suggested; just remove 'Text.class, ' from it.
Super_Hippo, thank you!
