Hi Scratchers,

I just uploaded my second Scratch project and the default image for it is some weird compendium of sprites in a seemingly random configuration. In other words, the image that shows up on my projects page and whenever you press the stop button is not what I want. It totally messes up the progression of mood and gives away the ending! Wah.

Please advise. Thanks.

The thumbnail preview is the whatever is showing on the project when you upload it. Just make sure that whatever you want the thumbnail to be is showing when you upload, and it should come out fine. smile

It's hard to fix if you are using effects because they all get reset when the flag, or stop sign is clicked. (And uploading stops the project.)

That's not true.

Oh, sorry. My bad.

Thanks. Based on Harakou's advice, I'm trying to use the 'clear' or 'hide' or 'end script' blocks to get rid of stuff I don't want on the screen when the project ends. Not exactly sure which is best but I'll figure it out. Now I have to go back and fix some of the projects to do that. I did do it for my last one though. Progress!

Thanks again. smile

Well Well Well. I have an answer (For once)

Make a huge sprite.(The Biggest possible)

Put one Script on it
[blocks]
<when green flag clicked>
<hide>
[/blocks]

Then upload your project.
Before you hit "OK"
Go to the sprite and double click Show

You can just make a sprite the size of the entire screen, save it with it showing (and up front) and that'll be your thumbnail. Just make sure that it has a script to hide as soon as the green flag is clicked, and that the rest of the project will properly reset when someone tries to run it.

Thanks again. I messed up my hedgehog quill project so badly I'm just going to take it down until I can figure out how to do it properly.

The thumbnail thing worked - yaaaaay!!!! smile smile smile Thanks again. Next I'm supposed to work on a pong game with my family members' heads as the balls. Let's see how that goes - haha.
