Sudden Activation

This bug started happening often on my computer. It really is nothing but an annoyance, but I really don't like it.

Whenever I drag something, say, drag a new block into the script area, drag the scroll bar in the script area down, everything activates. I hadn't touched either the green flag or the enter key.

HELP!!!


when gf clicked
wait until <something is dragged>
set [start playing? v] to [t]
change [annoying meter v] by (100000)
say [I'm going mental!]

Re: Sudden Activation

Hmm... This is surprisingly one I never heard of. I'd go with what muppetds Said and reinstall scratch. Maybe there's some setting you accidentally activated that makes this happen.

Re: Sudden Activation

I didn't click it. Whenever I drag ANYTHING (no matter if it is a new block or the script area's scroll bar), everything (emphasis EVERYTHING) activates. It's really weird.After a day or two, the problem disappears. Then it appears again, and then it disappears. (If I sound offensive, I apoligize: didn't mean to)

Maybe I'll reinstall Scratch, like you guys said. If anybody has this problem as well, please post. It will be nice to know that I'm not alone. :-)

By the way, thanks everybody!

when gf clicked
broadcast [what's happening now? v] and wait
say [Right now, the bug disappeared. But it'll be back, believe me!] for (2) secs
think [i'm going back to work now] for (2) secs
stop script

Re: Sudden Activation

It's really annoying. For example, when I am testing out my game, when I try to drag something in the program the whole thing starts over.

when gf clicked
say [so far the bug hasnt come back] for (2) secs
think [:)] for (2) secs

Re: Sudden Activation

A quick fix:

when gf clicked// this prevents scripts from running unless the mouse is over the stage, but does not prevent you from starting keypress or broadcast scripts from the scripting area
if <([abs v] of (mouse x)) > (240)>
stop all
end
if <([abs v] of (mouse y)) > (180)>
stop all
end
