Summary

This may be silly, but I'm seriously lost in here. I went 100% parallax with my game, and sometimes the character is covered by buildings' overlays. That's not very user friendly, because player 'looses' control over his character. What I'm trying to do is prevent this from happening by drawing a circle below a hero to give player a hint where exactly he or she is. I'd like it to look like this: { "lightbox_close": "Close",

Of course the circle would be manually called only when character is going to be hidden by an overlay (I bet there isn't a way to detect it automatically).

But, as I said, I have no idea how to do it - I mean, display the circle above all other bitmaps (parallax ground, overlay etc.), plus move it along with a player's input. Could anyone help me, please?
