I've been having a slight problem lately with MMF's transitions. Now, the main character of the game will start each frame at different areas, yet the problem I have is that the transition will start the level at the top right of the corner, then move quickly to where the character is. I understand this is because it needs to go through the events that show up when the level starts. My question is, is there a way to make the transition stay where the character is? It's sort of annoying, and it looks bad the way it is.

make a block and call it cammera
have it always: look at player
upon collision: set value A to 76
value A of cammera = 76: set position to player
Mr Icekirby says so!

I'm not entirely sure what Icekirby said... though it may be I who misunderstood the question.
If I understand correctly, what you might like to try doing is creating an active object the size of the screen, and apply a transition to that, rather than the frame itself, as code will execute while individual objects are running a transition, rather than the entire frame.
This obviously wont be able to do a "fade from background" without quite a bit of work, but you could do a fade from black, or any colour/pattern/picture you like quite easily.

Try scrolling to your object in a 'Start of Frame' event (in addition to the Always event that you use currently).
