"if (someObject instanceof SubclassName);" should be sufficient. I'm just seeing if the object is a certain class, and if it is, then get certain information and save it in a specific format as a String for an algorithm.

Using 'setLocation(getX(), getY()-getImage().getHeight()/2' every act cycle will indeed make your character go up the screen half its height every act cycle. You need to get a reference to that actor it is following (I will call it 'followed') and use 'followed.getX()' and 'followed.getY()-getImage().getHeight()/2'.

Okay one more thing. How are things with releases in java? Do I have to do it manually or is there some kind of autorelease behind? I have never thought of this when programming in Greenfoot.

Without relying on tricks, take a look at the FontMetrics class and its charsWidth method. It can be complicated when using several substrings, but works great for broader applications of the problem. Most of my GUI components in my GUI Components scenario use it.

Thanx very much both of you!!!!

Very straightforward. Thank you for your help ^_^

My last post in this discussion was basically about this. Take a look. It will probably give you some insight as to how to accomplish this.
