How do I correctly set 9-patch x, y?

I got a bit of a problem I'm not sure how is even happening. I've got a bar that moves to a position on the title screen to select what option you want to do: New game, Load, Save etc. It works all fine. It's a regular old sprite. But then I realized when you select options I want to adjust the size of the bar to border new options that pop-up. that's all nice. But the sprite looks kinda ugly stretched so I changed it to a 9-patch instead. Little did I know that it wouldn't work anymore.

In the picture you can see the Y is set to the "title_"s which worked fine before but now my 9patch appears in new places.

All of the ys are meant to be: 325, 360, 395, 430, 465, 500 (corresponding to the "title_" text objects)

But are instead the Y is being set to: 77.5, 81, 84.5, 88, 91.5, 95.

The weird part is in the de-bugger the Y's of all my text objects are correct (325, 360, etc) Yet it's setting the Y to (77.5, 81, 84.5, etc)

I thought that initially the hot-spot for my 9-patch was wrong to then realize it doesn't have one. I see a correlation of 3.5 when it's meant to be 35 between all the Ys, but I don't get where the values are being pulled from? I have no other objects with that Y value,

I even changed out "title_newgame.Y" to 325 but it still wants to be set at 77.5?

Thanks, Conra

Did you try changing the 9-patch hot spot in the object properties menu?

Still sets to: 77.5, 81, 84.5, 88, 91, 95.

The problem is where the actual sprite is positioned, it's the actual x,y of the 9-patch itself, my menu is at the lower half of the screen, where as the 9-patch is setting it's y value to overlap the title screen icon itself

It's hard to tell what it could be without the capx. Have you tried sizing the 9patch based on the menus bboxtop, boboxleft etc

It was a mistake on my part, in my previous object I had "set position" when I changed to my new 9-patch I had selected set y without realizing, so 50 was meant to be my X not my starting position for the y value since lerp requires (first position, seconds position, duration)

Cool. I'm glad you got it figured out.
