Creating objects on a layer with 0 coefficient while scrolling

[zephni]

I have a layer that sits above everything and has 0 coefficient so I can create a fading animation that covers the screen. I thought I would be able to do this regardless of whether the screen was scrolling or not because I thought setting 0 should make it independent from the scrolling playfield.

When I initiate the fade and the screen is still it works fine, but if the screen is scrolling while that happens the fader appears a little, and sometimes quite far off the screen borders.

Is there a way to stabilize this problem, I'm guessing it's probably going to be a cheap fix but I don't mind..

Thanks in advance for any help

Having a coefficient of 0 has always worked for me for fades... can you make sure there are no events moving the object, and that its "Follow the frame" checkbox is checked?

[zephni]

There is nothing moving the objects, the are set to build from the top left as in 0,0. Follow frame is checked, but I have tried it both ways really confused...

Try this example - It's an static object, I checked off follow the frame
when you press spacebar it creates a new fade object from the static object
so i didn't have to change the x coefficient.
