    do you have a Timer?
    did you copy/paste the expressions? … it is better to select the expressions …

    to copy/paste both the expressionEditor for the one you are copying and the expressionEditor for the one you are pasting-in, must be open to do so.

    I already check them, I just retype in the expression I didn't do the copy/paste.

    I check if all the expression is the same, it is...

    what causes the spawn to happen? … keyboard key press? … mouse down? … touch is pressed? … timer?

    does it spawn one time? or not?

    Timer every 0.5 second to start spawning between the expression random (125,1000) my scene wide is 1,440 thats why I put 1000 in Max ..

    To test things out … I would try with lower numbers in the random (EX: 120.440)

    if you are in iPhone platform, they maybe spawning off-screen …
    also have a textDisplay actor that displays the random number …

    Hooray you got the coins spawning! … now control how many coins on-scene:

    gameAttribute Index Type name coinsSpawned … leave it 0

    spawnActor:
    Rule: when
    Attribute: game.coinsSpawned < 10
    --Timer
    ----do spawn
    ----changeAttribute: game.coinsSpawned To: game.coinsSpawned+1

    if the coin is destroyed … then just before the Destroy behavior
    --changeAttribute: game.coinsSpawned To: game.coinsSpawned-1

    ah … @kajuto … so many ways!

    you might try this …

    -add a scene named PauseScene
    -put Start button there … with behavior Unpause Game

    in the playScene
    -have a controlActor (>Graphics:Visible unchecked) with the Pause Game behavior

    that way your playScene will show … but nothing will be active until player taps Start
