For the view, you have two ways.

The first would be making the player parent of view.

The second way is having a Draw Event in view with a code like this:

Code: Select all

view.x=player.x-(???)

replace the (???) by half the X size of your game. Ex: If your game is 480 x320, your X size is 480. 480 / 2 =240 so the code is this:

Code: Select all

view.x=player.x-240

Then for the the tool bar, just make it child of the view.

Easier to just say

Code: Select all

view.x= player.x -(.5*view.width);


That way you can change the view size without worrying about changing this
