Mounted and Unmounted at the same time?

I got a health bar at the top of my screen and mounted it to my player. But when I play the scene The health bar moves around In a strange way hard to explain but its just not mounted.

In the behavior file for the fixed health bar:

function FixedHealthBar::onAddToScene(%this)
{
  ...

   %this.startPosX = %this.owner.getPositionX();
   %this.startPosY = %this.owner.getPositionY();

It's grabbing the position of your sceneObject.

Next, it then updates it to that position...

case "Left":
        ...
         %this.owner.[b]setPositionX[/b](%this.[b]startPosX[/b] - (%sizeDiff / 2));

So it's just doing what's it's told...

Now you'd have to change how that is updated to get it working correctly:

Try this code from Joe, Here, I had to edited it a bit, but it seems to work pretty slick and might be a better solution for you.
