Variable Placement?
I created a fighting game it took me about a moth to get to the point I'm at rite now. I decided to post what i have so far(http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Apollyon13/1348117) but ran into a problem. As you may be able to tell Player 2's health is hidden underneath P1's Heath bar. Now i cant seem to find a way to move it across the screen and keep it there when i upload. Is there any way to keep placement of variable? I know it changes from slider to reg after save but i didn't know it changes position too. Any ideas?

Re: Variable Placement?
Well, if you save it or upload it while the variables are hidden, the variables' positions will all reset. The only workaround is to save the program with the variables showing and get them to hide when the green flag is clicked.

Re: Variable Placement?
This is a pretty well known glitch. The solution is to upload (and save) with each variable that you want to display showing, then make then hide when the green flag is pressed. Since the green flag automatically gets pressed when the project loads online, you won't notice them at all!
I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.
