Getting a Picture To Move With Camera

I inserted buttons into my game, but the game follows the actor and no longer shows the buttons after the actor moves.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
Thanks

    Assuming your screen scrolls, you will need to great a new layer and put every actor you don't want to move (stay on the screen) in the layer and uncheck the "scrollable" option.

    New Layer?

    Yes, create a new layer and put any actors you don't want to move in there.

    how do you add actors to layers?

    First, drag the actor into the scene. Then, click on Scene-->Layers at the top-left of the window. You'll see at least one layer ("Background"). Click on the small triangle to expand the layer contents. Add a layer by clicking the plus button (to rename a layer, click on the name once, wait a second, and then click again on the name). To move an actor to a different layer, click on it and drag it to the name of a different layer.

    The last step is selecting the actor you want to move and draging it to the desired layer


    I hope this helps.

    @AcceleratedGames, your images are hosted on a private Google Site. You need to host them publicly for them to show up here. I haven't tried this with a Google Site, but if you have any trouble, you can use a service like DropBox, ImageShack, or MediaFire to host them.
