Controlling the position of the 'say' bubble

Hi,

I am not sure how to control the position of the speech bubble for a sprite.
For some 'say' instructions the speech bubble appears on the left side of the sprite and for the other the bubble appears on the right side.

How can I make sure that the bubble appears at the same place in all cases?

Thanks.

Unfortunately, I don't think you can control the position of the say/think bubble. I do know that if the bubble is up against the edge of the stage, I believe that it switches sides.

You cannot do that, I am afraid. I'm sorry, it's the way it works.

It's not possible to select whether the speech bubble appears on the left or on the right, unfortunately  hmm

You can't do that. But it will switch sides if touching an edge of the stage.

Re: Controlling the position of the 'say' bubble

You could be totally legit and make a sprite that turns into the speech bubble, then since it's a sprite you can control what it does.
