Camera Wont Scroll With Character

[ThatOtherGuy]

Hi, I'm kinda new to these forums and Multimedia Fusion 2. I have a problem...... see I want to make a side-scrolling platformer, and so of cource I want the camera to follow the character as he moves. But it wont work..... heres what I tried doing after reading a tutorial by popcorn:

STEPS_____________________________________________ _________
Step 1: Go to events editor
Step 2: Set a Special-Always event
Step 3: Click on storyboard controls
Step 4: Click Scrollings
Step 5: Click Center Window Position In Frame
Step 6: (I wasnt sure about the values here) I set X and
Y values to 0
Step 7: Click Relative To and select the character
__________________________________________________ _________
Now I made sure that the whole PlayArea was bigger than the Frame Size.... When I move my character though, the camera doesnt follow him, even if he walks out of the camera range. Someone please tell me what Im doing wrong?

Damn well sounds like that should work to me.

You might have to upload the thing for people to take a look at 'cos that all looks right.

Edit: Hah! It censored the word 'damn'! I love this forum.

Do new topic. There you will find a file manager. Browse and find your file and add it.
