Achor to screen not working

When I add an [anchor to screen] block to my code, the actor disappears.

When weird stuff like that happens, one of the first things I do is add a "Make Always Active" block. That way, the actor won't be destroyed if it's off-screen. After that, try to figure out where the actor is located. You could try displaying the actor's X & Y's position. If you know where the actor is located, that might help in fixing the actor's position.

the actor does not appear to be anywhere.

If it's in the scene before the game starts, you could use the "Poor Man's Debug" method...

Set the Actor's X value to a game attribute
Set the Actor's Y value to another game Attribute

Have the scene display those values on the screen.

I do think something could be screwy with Stencyl though. I've been working on a project that was started with Stencyl 2.x. When I ported it to 3.x, I had problems with the location of displayed text.

The always active put the collision box of there, but it still is invisible.

Maybe it's a layer issue?

I'll check
