Drawn lives and score following the screen?

Well, I've been working a lot on my fan game for the past few days, the first of which I actually see being completed some time in the future, unlike all my other failed attempts. However, to try to make the game harder than it is already, I've decided to add lives, and a score that actually effects the gameplay(right now it's only really simple; get enough and get a 1-up, lose enough and lose a life).

The lives and score are drawn just fine and all, but the problem is that they won't follow the screen! It shows the score at the top, outside of the actual screen, still, but I want to be able to know how many lives I have left.

Would this have something to do with the view following oCharacter? If I'm not being specific enough, let me know.

Thanks in advance.

It's pretty simple, draw the scores at a position relative to the view!

Say you want it 50 pixels from the left, 10 pixels from the top. Then the x and y arguments of the drawing function should be:
x: view_left[0]+50
y: view_top[0]+10

or if you use d&d, in the x and y coordinates put x= view_xview+[offset] and y= view_yview+[offset] and that should work.

I guess that was part of the problem too, lol.
