Mouse Pointer Idea

You should make the mouse pointer automaticly a sprite so that you can change the look of the mouse pointer.

Re: Mouse Pointer Idea

That's a good idea. This is the only programming language i've ever seen that doesn't allow you to do that.


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.

Re: Mouse Pointer Idea

It would be cool, but it's not required. It would make Scratch more complicated to use...

I also don't want it in the Java player! It crashes so much, and I don't want to have a projectile mouse pointer when I am writing a text in another program  big_smile

You can create a poinet yourself:

create a sprite named "pointer"

put this script in it:

Code:

When green Flag clicked
| forever
|  go to [mouse pointer]
|_______

Re: Mouse Pointer Idea

It should be required and the Java player needs to be fixed if it crashes.

Re: Mouse Pointer Idea

i havnt tried this, but maybe you could make a mouse (custom) and say "forver go to mouse pinter go to front" and maybe it will go to the front of da mouse.

That won't make the sprite go in front of the cursor. In flash there is a command called mouse.hide. In flash you would make a sprite follow the cursor while hiding the cursor.

Re: Mouse Pointer Idea

then make the same command in scratch, scratch team! In c# I can change the cursor according to coding, so I can make it do anything I want over different surfaces. Scratch should have the same feature, or at least have the method mouse.hide. But since scratch isn't a type language they could do hide mouse under sensing. Aside from that they should also have a pre-made mouse sprite with different costume that you can export.

Re: Mouse Pointer Idea

Maybe it could only work in the actual program so it won't crash the browser or anything.
