I have a scrolling world and I want an Actor to stay on top of another when it's moving.

@Override
public void setLocation(int x,int y)
{
    super.setLocation(x,y);
    text.setLocation(x,y);
}

In this case I want the text to stay on top of my object, implementing it this way is very "jiggly", the text location doesn't update fast enough I guess, so it doesn't look smooth at all, any recommendations for making it seem more flawless and smooth?

Please provide method code where these actors are initially added into the world.

    addObject(rb1.getText(),100,100);//Here I add the Component Object on top of the base Object

Adding looks okay. Do you have an act method in your NodeRB class (if not, a class it extends)? Show, if so.

I realized my mistake. Since i was updating the locations of all objects in my WorldScrolling method I didn't have to update my text location in my NodeRB also, since it was already added in the world over it. Thank you for your feedback though !
