Follow Frame Option Problems

[aussiedave]

Hi All,

My new problem with my scroller is the heath bar background which is
an active picture in my first frame it shows up at the bottom of the frame.
and works well.

Ok I started the second frame of the game placed a copy of the Health
Bar background on this new frame in the same spot as first frame.

When I untick the FOLLOW THE FRAME option the Health Bar Background
disappears when frame is viewed in realtime, when you tick, it appears again
but as I do not want it to follow the frame, whats going on.

There is only 0ne Layer in this frame.

Thanks All.

I don't know what is going on. What you should do instead of not using 'follow frame' use 2 layers, one for the game, one for the HUD, it makes things so much easier.

Did you put your health bar in the top-left screen of the frame? (i.e. the screen you see when the frame starts)

The screen position of an object without the "follow the frame" option is its position in the frame, so if your object is outside the top-left screen you won't see it.
