Here is the issue.

I create a display group, then a newRoundedRect. I added the newRoundedRect to the display group.

If I move the display group around on the screen, the newRoundRect does not mote, it keeps it location on the screen.

I would think that it should move based on its position in the display group, not the XY of the screen.

Also If I add a newText object, it does move with the display group so thats why I think the newRoundRect should as well.

Even if i add the newRoundRect to the display group then set the positions of the newround rect in the group then move the group the newRoundedRect maintains screen xy positions.

Am I Wrong? Or should I do something different.

  local myRoundedRect = display.newRoundedRect(0, 0, 250, 150, 12)
  myRoundedRect.strokeWidth = 3
  myRoundedRect:setFillColor(140, 140, 140)
  myRoundedRect:setStrokeColor(180, 180, 180)
  myRoundedRect.alpha = 0.5;
 
  loadingGroup:insert(myRoundedRect)
  loadingGroup.x, loadingGroup.y = 225, 50
