Yes, this bug was recently reported and is recorded in our bug database: http://bugs.bluej.org/trac/greenfoot/ticket/347 Of course we will fix it with the next release of Greenfoot.

whoops, i forgot to capitalize the I.

I am new to programming and have decided to learn with Greenfoot. You hear all these ads about Windows machines being able to truly multi-tast so I wasn't sure if both acts were suppose to run simultaneously or if they ran in turn like you've described. Knowing they run in turn tells me it is my code and I'm trying to do too much at once. Also, thank you Duta, it is a lot like the crab scenario. In fact, the crab was my st

Short answer: You can't (as of the current greenfoot version) - you may want to look into getting a different IDE.

Ok, I have managed to reproduce the problem on Windows (not on linux though - it seems to work fine for me on linux). I'll look into it further; maybe it's a Greenfoot bug. In the meantime you can probably avoid it by not using inner types.

so now i have convertet it to a !!!GIF!!!! and it work fine... i use http://www.greenfoot.org/scenarios/260 to use the gif... now there is a loop. so i need to remove tha actor after it hast finished. to do that is shuld use a timer or something. the gif is 21 seconds ... how i make a timer????
