Ok so i have a character_mc that moves on mouse click, a logtxt dyanamic text box and a mc named $box. The camera follows the character and when the log and $ boxes are staying put.

I want them to stay on the same point on the stage(meaning I want them to stay at the same place on the camera) I was wondering what i might do for this? I have tried to put them in a movie clip but it doesn’t really seam like it worked well so i discarded the idea.

Heres the code:

package {
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import flash.text.TextField;
    import flash.display.Stage;

    public class Main extends MovieClip {
        // player

        public var characterEndMC:MovieClip = new charEndMC();

        //box
        private var boxAmount:Number=0;
        private var boxLimit:Number=20;
        private var _root:Object;
        //$txt
        public var money:int=0;
        public var gold:int=0;

        //$$
        public var testnumber:Number=1;
        //enemy1
        private var e01Amount:Number=0;
        private var e01Limit:Number=2;



        public function Main() {


            $box.click$.move$.buttonMode=true;
            $box.click$.clickmini$.buttonMode=true;


            character_mc["charAngle"]=0;
            character_mc["moveX"]=0;

            stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, charMove);

            //box add listener
            addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, eFrame);

            //moneybox

                character_mc.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, charLoop);



            }


            for (var i:int = 0; i < this.numChildren; i++) {
                this.getChildAt(i).x-=character_mc["moveX"];
                this.getChildAt(i).y-=character_mc["moveY"];

            }

            character_mc.x+=character_mc["moveX"]+.05;

    What you can do is put all related objects on their own layer using Sprites.

    It’s a bit difficult to understand what you are doing in your example but here’s
    a quick example of what you can do :

    // Add all your game related objects to this Sprite - characters, enemies etc.
    private var cameraContainer:Sprite = new Sprite
    // Add all your hud objects to this Sprite - logtxt, $box etc.
    private var hudContainer:Sprite = new Sprite();
    
    public function Main() {
        cameraContainer.addChild(character_mc);
        cameraContainer.addChild(enemy01);
        cameraContainer.addChild(enemy02);
        ...
    
        hudContainer.addChild(logtxt);
        hudContainer.addChild($box);
    }
    
    public function charLoop(event:Event) {
        // Here you should not move all the objects relative to the player but instead
        // move the player and then move the camera relative to the player
        character_mc.x += character_mc['moveX'];
        character_mc.y += character_mc['moveY'];
    
        // Reposition the camera and everything else will move
        // - Add half the screen size to centre the player on the screen
        cameraContainer.x = -character_mc.x + halfScreenWidth;
        cameraContainer.y = -character_mc.y + halfScreenHeight;
    }
