I've declared an array of objects as such (MAX is declared as 5) Actor ActorList[] = new Actor[MAX]; for (iCount = 0;iCount < MAX;iCount++) { ActorList[iCount] = new Actor (this,41,37); } Then i've got an error when i've tried this line System.out.println(ActorList[3].iLength) The error is "Unresolved symbol ActorList".iLength is a public integer and i've already constructed the object in the for loop.So i can't understand why i still have this error.

In Java, the declaration for arrays is:

Actor[] ActorList = new Actor[MAX];

The only other thing I can think of is that the variable is out of scope when you're trying to print it, or that the Actor class can't be found when you're compiling.

Actually, you can declare arrays the old C-sytle way in Java (though most people don't consider it good practice), so the declaration shouldn't be the problem (but who knows, try it the other way and see). Other than that, it all looks fine. Are you sure you copied all relevent information to the post correctly?

EDIT: Heh, I guess CaptainJester and I were posting about the same time and I corrected something he already had. Sorry! :)

1. You are supposed to use LOWER CASE first letter for variable names (which is confusing because it can make readers think your error is a class that cannot be found)

2. It's saying it can't find anything with name "ActorList", i.e. the same as if you'd typed:

String anObject = "hello";
System.out.println( anBoject ); // typo in this line, generates "Unresolved symbol"

So, as suggested, the problem is probably that you're trying to access the ActorList var out of scope - e.g. it's only defined in one method, and you tried to call it from another method, where it doesn't physically exist!
