Running slowly
Hi all. I just recently found this program and I am amused!
I am currently working on a project in which I have 3 sprites for now, and about 40 costumes. Most of the scripts (and there are 11 of them now) in this project should change costumes in fast sequences. When I turn on just one script, it's working perfectly, but as soon as I click the green flag and start all of the scripts, something weird happens. The costumes are being changed slowly. In fact, they're not all shown.
Have you guys got an idea what could be the problem? I think my PC has all the system requirements...
Thanks in advance.

Re: Running slowly
it could be that its going so fast u can't see them all
Dear Scratch Users,
I'm done with scratch, or at least making projects. I have made one last big game, thats both fun and teaches a lesson about water. It'd mean a lot if you gave me feedback. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/bosox397/569201

Re: Running slowly
Ahm... I thought about that, but it seems that that's not the problem. As I said, when I turn on 1 or 2 scripts, it works fine... And I tried to increase "wait" time between costume changes, but it's the same thing... :S
Anyway, thanks.

Re: Running slowly
Are you running the running the project in presentation mode, or are you running the project in the normal interface mode with the scripts showing? The latter causes some kind of project lag, the former should [theoretically] run the project more correctly.

Re: Running slowly
I am so dissapointed... I got really addicted. 
But now...
Yeah, I tried in both modes... presentation and... erm... non-presentation... 
I will try to install it in local internet caffe. Might be working properly on one of their computers.
Thanks for your effort, guys

Re: Running slowly
Feel free to Share the project online...maybe if we saw the scripts we could see what the problem might be.

Re: Running slowly
So you might want to have one script that handles the costume changes and another script that does the actual character movement (if you don't already have it set up that way).
