your lowerpanel code:

+ Code Snippet

//-----panel----------
panel= loadimage("panel.png")
lowerpanel=createsprite(0)
setspriteimage(lowerpanel,panel)
SetSpritePosition(lowerpanel,53,975)
SetSpriteSize(lowerpanel,1020,167)
//FixSpriteToScreen(lowerpanel,1)
SetSpriteDepth(lowerpanel,10)

1) you've placed the sprite off-screen (53, 975 while: SetVirtualResolution( 1020,740 ))
2) you've commented out FixSpriteToScreen(lowerpanel,1)

while i'm here, if you've already loaded a sprite's image, you may as well use it when you create the sprite. ie, instead of:

+ Code Snippet

panel= loadimage("panel.png")
lowerpanel=createsprite(0)
setspriteimage(lowerpanel,panel)

try:

+ Code Snippet

panel= loadimage("panel.png")
lowerpanel=createsprite(panel)

nomad yes i did comment it out while i was testing it to see why i would see it without fix to screen. but i see now it was my screen offset throwing me off

ill spend ours looking at my code then as soon as i make a post i find out the simple solution lol now the problem im having is when i go to move my character it jumps off screen then moves fine as far as fix to screen and positioning works
