An applet does not normally have permission to read and write files on the local system, so you can't user FileReader as you do above. Also, the file when exported is inside the jar file that makes up your scenario, so it doesn't exist as a separate file. I do have an example scenario showing how you can read file contents from files embedded within your scenario, though.

Thanks got it!

While in the editor, select 'Options>Preferences...' from the menubar; in the 'Editor' tab, change the font size to 14 or so and click the 'Ok' button. From outside the editor, you can get to the 'Preferences' dialog box by 'Ctrl-,' (control-comma).

How does setting the rotation of the image that actor has change that actors location? There are only two Actor class methods that change the position of an actor. Please review the Actor class documentation (the methods available and what they do, in particular).

If you were to code it in the Ladybug class, you would need a field to distinguish one from the other as far as which direction they will move. An int type field would be easiest in this case. One instance can have a value of '1' while the other has a value of '-1'. Then multiply both value parameters in the 'setLocation' statement by the field.

Made a little change in code and put it in. Works... Thanks a lot! :)

You could just add an 'else' before the 'if' or do it like this: <Code Omitted> Or: <Code Omitted>

How would I put that in?

Thanks, you been soooo much help xD

Still figuring out the turns, but I think that'll work out, eventually. Thanks danpost and Super_Hippo, you really helped me out a lot! I still have to learn so much, though! Many, many thanks!

Could you post the relevant code how you read the file? Maybe we can find the reason then. (Use code tags please.)

Please refer to this page of the java tutorials.

Yeah I know but I copied it from a test scenario and it threw an error otherwise forgot to get rid off it. Thanks Super_Hippo

Although the wombat is not an enemy, this still might help. It is the same type of movement.

Line 5 uses 'getOneObjectAtOffset'. The documentation shows that it returns an object of type Actor (regardless of what class of object you are looking for). To access anything in the Container class with the field 'containerPicked', you need to let it be known that the field holds a Container type object. <Code Omitted>This line takes the actor (containerPicked) and casts it as a Container type object and then sets the new variable 'cp', which is declared to hold a Container object, to that actor.
