On my new project I am trying to show how many bullets a ship has by pasting the number using a sprite that has 10 costumes, containing the numbers 0-9 in that font.
(If you don't know what I mean by that, then check out M44's chop shop and I am trying to do something similar to his death count - but with the number of bullets instead of deaths)
The only problem is, is that I have a scrolling background, aswell as a foreground. The scrolling background is necessary because it is (not giving away any secrets about my next project ) The foreground is needed as its the HUD of the ship. (Little secret there
)
However, the problem with using this method of showing the number of bullets is that when you use the stamp block, it stamps the sprite behind the scrolling background and the foreground, which isn't what I want. I want it to stamp above the HUD.
Is there any other way of doing this or am I going to have to scrap this idea (which I really don't want to do)
Sorry if I didn't explain it very well .. I'm tired so..
Thanks in advance if anyone helps

You can't stamp over sprites if thats what you meant.
But Jcubed made something http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/jcubed/316879 that doesn't use stamping but is more complicated.

Thanks a lot for that! I hoped to stay away from this method but I can't see any others so I'll use that.
Thanks
