Switching Costume to a Variable
<set{ costume }to( costume3
<switch to costume[ <{ costume }>
This script used to work in the 1.4 Release Candidate. In the final release of 1.4 it no longer works. I was wondering if this is a bug.
I was using a join block to construct a costume name and then switch the costume of the sprite to that variable. It was very useful but it doesn't work in the 1.4 final release.

Re: Switching Costume to a Variable
Interesting...it seems to still work if you set the variable to a costume number. It also seems to work if the costume name does not contain a number (is just text). But it doesn't work with a costume name that is mixed text and numbers. Odd!

Re: Switching Costume to a Variable
You're right! I just tried it. Very odd. I wonder why it worked in the release candidate.

Re: Switching Costume to a Variable
I had the same problem. When I set the costume to the costume name, e.g. 'a' then it worked many of the times, but once in a while, it would ignore me. Annoying. so now I have to back index it to the costume number.
