actors not visible when pressing play button

Hi there, when I press play to watch my actors move like the video said it does not.
I can't even see my actors at all in the preview please help.

you're going to have to show us your rules for us to be any help.

Hi zhongapps, I don't have any rules yet. Or at least I know I haven't created any myself.
All I've done is created 2 actors, changed their colour and added a "Move" behaviour. When I then click the green "play" button, I see the stage but the 2 actors are not visible, and there is no movement taking place.
It's maybe also worthwhile mentioning that when I create the 2 actors, their X & Y coordinates are in the thousands. I need to change them to something like 150 to then see my actors in the stage. Could this have an impact on whether I can then see them when I press play?

Are you using Windows? If so it could be this:

Thanks jamie_c, my regional settings were the problem. On Windows 8 the number format defaults to comma instead of period for the decimal. My problem is now fixed, thank you!!

Great, glad you got it sorted!
