Merging Sprites

I think there should be a way to merge two sprites without going through exporting.  This would come in handy especially on computers that take a long time to load.

Re: Merging Sprites

That's an interesting suggestion. What exactly is it you'd like to do with two sprites? Just combine two of their costumes, or actually "group" both programmable objects, keeping both of them "alive"?

Make their costumes merge and give the new sprite the scripts of both.

Re: Merging Sprites

What you can do is this:

   1) export the costume you want to merge into another sprite
   2) open the target sprite's costume
   3) import the exported costume into the paint editor
   4) place it anywhere you like

Does this work for you?

Re: Merging Sprites

I think the easiest way to create a merged sprite, is to capture the screen in order to get a new sprite with the two custumes (right mouse click on stage).

And then transfer the relevent code.

Re: Merging Sprites

I've been reading some of these messages and the the reason I think grouping sprites would be useful is so that a grouped sprite can be moved easily as a group rather than having to program each individual sprite to move the same amount.  Maybe there is already a way to do this but it isn't obvious.

Please don't bump old threads.

Also, I really did spell bad back then...
