UI or HUDs are usually placed on a LAYER above the game level and the LAYERS parallax and scaling amounts set to 0,0 and 0

this way it will always stay on the screen even if the player moves around

you can also use the Anchor behavior to fix it on the screen position

step 1 create a new layer above your game level using the layers tab in the project tree and name it "UI" or "HUD"

and set the parallax and scale settings to 0,0 and 0 for scale ( it can help to show parallax in the editor as well by checking the box...where it says so)

step 2 place all of your UI objects into this layer

they should now "float" above the game level

hope that helps

Be aware that if you try to place an object on that layout once you set the parallax, you'd be best off scrolling the view to the top-left of the layout first. Took me a while to figure out why my objects were disappearing as soon as I dropped them into the layout. =)
