Old Questions (from 1.x/2.x) / Remove Actors from Menu Select upon return to Menu.

Hi all! So I have a question for you. I am creating an iOS game in flash and want to have my main menu screen "change" throughout the game. There is going to be 12 levels but after each level is beat I am hoping the the Actor(button) for selecting that level will disappear from the main menu screen. Anyone have any ideas or quick tips for doing this? Thanks!

are negative x and y coordinates (i.e. -250, -250) the correct way to start actors off the screen?

Unless your actor has "Always Simulate" (Which makes the actor's coding work even when off screen), no. Either way negative is the incorrect way.

Thanks for that tip. But are you saying that there is no way to start an Actor off the visible screen in the scene?

If they have Always Simulate, it should work. Have never done it though, only problem I could think of is maybe the created block wouldn't occur until he enters the screen, and if the created block doesn't happen he doesn't start to simulate. I'm pretty sure it'll work though, haven't used the simulate block in a while.

THANKS BANANA! that worked for me. Appreciate it!

Hi All! I am a brand new user of Stencyl and have been enjoying working the program over the last week. I have a question though....

I am trying to make a scene with a bunch of random clouds appearing off the screen and then begin to move in random directions throughout the screen. Any tips on how to do this??

Below image is how I am trying it so far... (keep in mind I am brand new so any tips would be appreciated!)
