1,497 PointsTrouble moving the button and label in Xcode
I'm having some trouble moving the button and the label. When I move them on the storyboard, there's a dotted-line red box around where they used to be and when I run the program, they go back to within that dotted line. Is it the frame we set up in the previous lesson? I'm playing with it, but any help would be great. Thanks! https://www.dropbox.com/s/aklp8l0mw3o3xmh/crystal%20ball%20problem.png?dl=0

42,016 Pointsyouve got some autolayout constraints set. if you select the label and button (select them both by command + clicking them) in your storyboard then press the button that looks like a tie figher ( it looks like this: |-O-| ) at the bottom right there should be an option to clear the constraints. then you can move them around where you want them to be.
after you reposition you will want to reapply some constraints to make them be in the correct position on the different sized iPhone screens.

1,497 PointsThanks Stone Preston! That fixed it. Out of curiosity, what would those layout constraints be used for normally?

42,016 Pointsyou use auto layout constraints to relatively position views so that your layout looks the same on different sized screens.
