I'm making a simple quiz game.

I'm trying to move a "next" sprite when the layout starts, but I haven't been successful. It won't move to x = -500.

The "next" sprite should only appear when the "click for next" button is pressed.

Strangely, if I click on the "next" sprite itself, it does move to x = -500.

Why won't it move when the layout starts?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!

Objects are not created instantly. If you call a function to create a new object instance, this instance won't be available until the end of the event.

There are two ways to fix it:

1. Set button position to -500 inside the function where the button is created.

2. Add "Wait 0":
+ System: On start of layout -> Functions: Call tampiltombol2 -> System: Wait 0 seconds -> tblnext: Set X to -500
