Speech bubble problem!

Okay, so in one of my scripts, there is a forever, and inside that is one "if touching color green" and one "if touching color blue". Both are set to say something. With both "if touching"s, the speech bubble keeps flashing and you can't even see it; with one or the other, it's fine. I made sure the speech bubble doesn't touch the other color; please help me!!!!

Hey Neron, do you have the project uploaded to the website already? Sometimes it's easier to see what the problem is when people can check the block code.  smile

Re: Speech bubble problem!

It sounds like you're using the plain old "say" block, which leaves the bubble until it receives another "say" command. If it keeps being told to display something again and again, it has to clear and redraw the message, resulting in the flashing you see.

Re: Speech bubble problem!

Go into presentation mode, that should stop the glitching.


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.
