Ive got an image that has 2 layers, the backgound and foreground. Im trying to add a button to the top of the picture, and the code ive got doesnt show the button. Any advice?

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>

BMAP* firebackground = "awesome-fire-dragon-ablaze.jpg"; // dragon fire background with button on it

PANEL* first_pan = // my first panel
{
pos_x = -40;
pos_y = 0;
layer = 1;
bmap = firebackground;
button(-270, -100, "stopclicked.jpg", "stopnormal.jpg", "stopnormal.jpg", quit_program, NULL, NULL);
flags = OVERLAY | VISIBLE;
}
BMAP* pngRobot = "LDDScreenShot1.png"; // robot in foreground

PANEL* second_panel =
{
pos_x = -270;
pos_y = -100;
layer = 2;
bmap = pngRobot;
flags = OVERLAY | VISIBLE;
}

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

function main ()
{
video_mode = 7;
screen_color.red = 100;
}

function quit_program()
{
while (key_any) {wait (1);}
sys_exit(NULL);
}

your buttons x position is -270 , thats probably why you dont see it , try changeing it to 0 and see if it shows up

Nope, still wont be visible :P
the x of the panel is at -40 already, so the button actually is at -310 (-270 + -40).

Badapple was right though, you need to set it to the right position (being a positive instead of negative value).
