Unwanted multiple images

 :o I placed my images on the screen and started them moving but there's something wrong (yeah again). Some of the images are all clumped together in the center of the screen ???.

I tried to solve it by turning off all the objects and then placing their starting position and movement before turning them back on, still they have these 'ghost images' that are all bunched up in the middle of the screen.

Does anyone know how I can prevent this from happening?

Once again, thanks :).

By images, I assume you mean objects?  When you turned off the objects did you do it by unticking the 'this object is initially visible' box?  If you did then the object would still exist, but not be visible in the game.  I'm not sure what these 'ghosts' are - I can only think that you've made duplicates of objects.  Try scrolling through the object list to make sure you have no more and no less than you should have.

Howdy SimB :), yes, I should've said 'Objects' instead of images to avoid confusion, sorry bout that.

I've turned the objects off by clicking the little box in the Object placement screen but it didn't solve the problem, then I used the ObjectOff function and still the problem is there.

There are a total of 7 objects on the screen, 3 of them move across the screen using MoveObject functions, for some reason the 3 objects have duplicate objects clustered in the middle of the screen.

It get's stranger ???, when I go to the Object placement screen the 3 objects are nowhere near the center of the screen. I'll keep working on it, thanks for you suggestion SimB.

Do these objects have duplicates in the editor?  If they do, then you can delete the unnecessary ones, but make sure you get the right ones by checking you move scripts.  If it's not that, try making all of your objects invisible and run the game to see if there's still there.  Then if it's ok you can turn on one and run it to see if you get any strange results.  Also, try checking the move scripts to make sure that the objects aren't accidentally moving to the middle of the screen with a high speed value.
