Hey,

I’m currently making a platform game but i’m stuck. I have the following:

- a character (hero)
- a ground to walk on (platform)
- scrolling (thanks to JoMan)

Everything works fine. Now i want to add coins to my game. Here is where it goes wrong. **Where do i place the coin’s Movieclip?**  
The coins have to stay in place on the platform (where i placed them). So when the platform scroll’s the coins scroll’s to. This can be achieved by placing them in the platform movieclip. But once i did that the coins became a part of the platform, so now the character can stand on the coins, which is not part of the plan. :-/

In a few words: coin has to move when te game scroll’s. But may not become a platform.

Thnx
