Weird. If put the orb next to HoodedFigure you see it disappears after he fades out. There's no reason it should.
It seems to have something to do with Spriter. If I disable event 2 (the Spriter:On initialized) it doesn't do it anymore.
Yes if you disable just 1 action in event 2 then it works (any single action).
I notice at the top of the scml file that there are only 9 files listed (no Hook_000) and you're associating 10 objects with the player. Maybe that has something to do with it... I don't really know how Spriter works though.
It definitely should change. (Move the orb so you can see it near the Hooded Figure). The player doesn't appear, but you can move to the figure and see the orb stays onscreen.
Yes, but now you can bug the Spriter guys about the problem. Scirra won't touch this issue because it involves a third-party plugin.
