Okem

I've only been using gamesalad for a day, but I'm guessing you have some kind of gravity applied in your scene that will move all movable objects in the direction of it's force.

This is covered in the getting started guide - http://cookbook.gamesalad.com/tutorials/1/parts/1

Because it must.

There are two basic ways you can make something happen in GameSalad: (1) automatically and (2) with a Rule.

(1) If you drag a behavior into the actor's rules area, it will run immediately when the actor is on the scene.

(2) If you place the behavior inside of a Rule (such as When key [key name] is down), it will only run when that condition is true (e.g. the key is down).

He was asking why did it. Now how to do it. Thats how I read his post.

"why the actor go to the left alone?" could be the new GameSalad meme ("why did the chicken cross the road?") but I digress...

Either way, my answer gives him the information to understand why the actor may have moved on its own and how to prevent that from happening.

I think this post may win the award for the least amount of information given when asking a question.

"why the actor go to the left alone?"

Yeah that's up there with "all you base are belong to us".

But... I get this susspicion he is saying the actor is automatically moving to the left without pressing a key. @boyassen can you eloborate? A vid or screen shot of your rules and behaviors may help.
