Hiding Lists
Is there a way to hide lists/send them to the back of the screen/etc.?
I'm working on a project that would be WAY simplified if that could happen.

Re: Hiding Lists
No, but you could make a sprite that goes in front of the list, making it look like it, but it would have to be the same color as the background.
With some effects, you can also fade a list out with the method above.
I made a MC texture pack! Get it at planetminecraft!

Re: Hiding Lists
Hopefully in 2.0 the Scratch team will implement this, along with many other features like cloning!

Re: Hiding Lists
Yeah, Scratch 1.4 and all previous versions lack this block. I hope it does get put on 2.0, though, along with a "Move variable to x_ y_" block and a list version. As G0D_M0D3 said, you can hide it behind a sprite, and add special effects- for example, using ghost to make it seemingly fade in/fade out, using a lot of sprites (I repeat: a LOT) and a bit of coding to make it go in a checkerboard effect, etc.

Re: Hiding Lists
Unfortunately not, though it's rumoured to be coming in 2.0.
You could have a sprite that covers it though, and then just hide the sprite when you want to show the list, and show the sprite when you want to hide the list.

this often works well but not online. but great idea to use, just make sure to put "DOWNLOAD TO WORK" in the notes.

I'm pretty sure it does work online. After all, it's just showing and hiding a sprite.

i reckon that you could just use panther for a lot of the stuff you want.

Re: Hiding Lists
It's not available. 
it would be super helpful if you are making an OS when using a sprite to cover it is pretty hard because it won't blend in with the desktop. 
You can use Panther, I believe it has that feature... And Hopefully Scratch 2.0 will have it.

Script? Do you mean list?

Re: Hiding Lists
It is possible to show/hide a list. (Using the checkbox) but you cannot use a block for it.
And by dragging a sprite to another position, and then NOT dragging the list makes the sprite go in-front.
