Need help orienting camera properly
trying to keep the entire play field in view while the maze in the center area is explored. in other words, the buttons on the right hand side can be accessed at all times but the camera will follow a sprite as it travels around in the maze in center area of screen.

It sounds like you're trying to make a HUD effect. If so, Google HUD Gamesalad to find tutorials.

what @tatiang said. create a hud layer for your buttons/score and anything else you want to lock in position and make sure you uncheck the scrollable option.
on your player, either add camera behaviour, or constrain the x any y of whatever actor you use with the camera to your player’s x and y. also bring the camera area right in to the middle of the screen.
