Desktop X weather object grouped?

I finally have my weather background and have all the weather objects on it and it works but, I can't figure out how to group them so they don't move. Tried alot of different stuff but not the right one. Can anyone help? Thanks

one way is to set each object's parent as the background object, then in the relation tab set movement to locked or set activation to "none" depending whether you want to enable user interaction with that object or not.

Is there some reason why when I group the weather objects with the background they still move?

Nevermind I figured it out but I'm still having problem with script. Do you copy and paste it from another script or what?

what sort of problems are you having with the script? If you are getting error messages report them here in as much detail as possible, it will help in identifying the cause of the trouble.
The problem with copying and pasting from another script is that the script will not necessairly reference the same objects as you have created.
If you look at the script you will see lines such as:
DesktopX.Object("an_object").Text="some text" (or a variable)
if you copy the script from a different object it is possible, even likely, that "an_object" won't exist in your weather object
the copied script may also differ in its functionality from your object - not all weather objects are created equal etc

I finally got it all figured out I think, I just ungrouped ss goku's layout weather object and put my background in it's place and adjusted all the objects like I want them. Thanks, Richard
