simple coordinates question

ingieW

I must be stupid. I can't get the actor to spawn within a 320X480 iphone size scene

Is random(-160,160) for x and random(-240,240) for y wrong?

My coordinate is still 0,0.

Thanks! It works. -- Why is the coordinate not in the center of the screen (the red cross)? I tested it, if I change the coordinate to -160, -240, then the red cross will be on the bottom left. But the actors don't seem to follow this system. Do you think you can explain to me?

I know it should be very basic stuff but I can't find any documentation/forum posts about coordinate system.
