Lives doesn't show!

[niand]

Hi. As the subject states, the lives are invisible. I've checked the "Visible at start" box. Also, when I check follow the frame they appear. But since I want them to follow the screen they remain invisible.

Does anyone have a clue on how to solve this?

[edit: It's a "lives" object.]

If things like the Lives object are scrolling around with the game, their initial position needs to be in the dashed screen border in the top left corner of the frame (as this is where the scrolling is when the frame starts) - otherwise they'll always be positioned relative to this off-screen.

You can also uncheck the "Display as Background" property, if the Lives object has that - it'll treat it as an active object and pay more attention to updating it as the screen scrolls.

1. If "follow frame" is unchecked then it should be place in the top-left hand side of the frame to be visible.
2. Ensure the "display as background" is unchecked.

thanks a lot! it seems so obvious to me now that I have to place them in the dashed screen
