    Is that Yellow box actor the one that needs to follow your finger?

    Not 100% sure but I think
    Constrain Attribute: Self.Position X TO game.Mouse.Position.X
    Constrain Attribute: Self.Position Y TO game.Mouse.Position.Y

    Make sure you use Constrain and not Change as Constrain constantly updates.

    that is correct :)

    I did that as well....and when I touch the actor (yellow box)...it disappears!

    not sure what your doing, but how shane said is how you do it.

    how big is your scene size?

    youll have to add a offset for the mouse position if you made it larger then what its normally set at

    This might be obvious but just checking everything. You are making the changes to the actor in the scene and not only the prototype right?

    Ok I just created a blank project and set it up exactly how you had it.

    When Actor receives event - Touch - Pressed
    Constrain Attribute: Self.Position.X to Game.Mouse.Position.X
    Constrain Attribute: Self.Position.Y to Game.Mouse.Position.Y

    Mine works perfectly fine when I click on the square and it follows the mouse.

    The only thing I can think of is that in the video, you are editing the prototype of the actor. The code doesn't matter if it is in the prototype or the instance. Perhaps you forgot you have code in the instance, and not the prototype of actor 1 saying when it is pressed to go somewhere or destroy.

    That would be the only reason that box disappears. You must have code elsewhere telling that Actor 1 to either move, destroy, or turn alpha to 0.

    well I was doing the rules in the prototype first ...and after what you said i checked the actor in the scene. both prototype and actor in the scene have the exact rules and it still disappears when i try to move it.

    should be: Devices not game.

    self.postitionX to devices.mouse.positionX

    When you go through devices it shows as game.mouse.position.X, there is no devices.mouse.position.x

    Your only other option would be to let one of us look at your project. I think we can agree you have to have code elsewhere effecting that actor, the code we gave and that is in your video should work.
