Here is a simple and much more accurate function to check if an object is on the screen or not. However it will only work if the center of the object is visible.

Enjoy

+ Code Snippet

function object_in_screen(obj)

   `Check if the object is visible on the screen
   sh = screen height()
   sw = screen width()
   obx = object screen X(obj)
   oby = object screen y(obj)
   if obx => 0 and obx =< sw and oby => 0 and oby =< sh and object in screen(obj)
      result = 1
   else
      result = 0
   endif

endfunction result
