Problem creating object when scrolling

[haora]

My problem is this:

The "create object at" action, doesn't take into consideration if the object we're creating has "Don't follow the frame" selected.
If I set an event to create an object, on X:18, Y:30, but before that I do a bit of horizontal scrolling to the right, say 10 pixels, then the new object created will be at X:8, Y:30, which is not what I want, since I set the object so that it won't follow the frame...

Is this a bug? Or am I just understanding something wrong?

Thanks!

You might need to first designate a grid that holds the coordinates for your screen, MMF is functioning the right way, it's all relative to the current screens position, you might be able to constantly offset the objects relative to the horizontal scrolling increments, but then you'd have to set your scrolling to scroll only a certain amount of pixels in each direction.

like x,x-10, / x,x+10
A grid is better though.

Or you could have a place marker object that first before scrolling sets the marker at the X,Y position, then create the object relative to the place marker not the current scrolling position of the background.

A workaround would be to use a layer with scrolling coefficients of 0, and create your object into that.
