Change in display positioning of the variables!

Here is what happens:-

I create a variable to hold scores.. I place it in a specific position on screen..then i 'show' the variable and 'hide' it.. project saved ..so far so good... but the next time when i open the  project.. and display the same variables.. it shows up in the 'default' postion for variables  ie., in the top left corner...!!

Help needed..!

You need to save it with the variable showing.   smile

This is a bug... You just need to do as hamsandwich suggested: save it with the variable showing.

Re: Change in display positioning of the variables!

When you save it, show the variables. If you want them hidden at the beginning, just put a hide block in at the start. Then, when you want them to show, add a show block. This should keep it in the correct position. If, however, you want the thumbnail that comes up on the website to not have the variables showing in it, create a sprite that is the same colour as the background behind the variables. Then, drag this sprite to wherever the variables are, and use a hide when start clicked. Make it show before you upload it, then your "title screen" and your variables should all look ok.

And don't worry about the moving variables, they happen to everyone if you save with them hidden.  big_smile  Hope it helps!
