Re: having a little trail after your sprite
I can't view the project you're talking about, but there's probably a way to use the stamp effect to do that, but it might be harder than it sounds. You could probably make a lot of costumes or have sprites that follow the main sprite.
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.

Make the trail out of sprites, then put the code on the trail sprite.
<when green flag clicked><repeat until>put in what happens for it to stop<go to[ sprite you want it to follow<wait(0.5 )secsc>
This Should work. Hope it Helps {:>)

Re: having a little trail after your sprite
I tried doing this with stamping the other day, but got bored so gave up; it wasn't very succesful anyway.
You could do this with multiple sprites however. Bosox created a bubble follow game, which is a great example of this:

Re: having a little trail after your sprite
i really was trying to avoid having a bunch of sprites to have the trail. actually, JSO succeded in doing that. here the link: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/JSOlabs/317351

You could have the pen down and as thick as your sprite is big.

well chains you make the colour sorta in-between the background and the sprite main colour. if you have mor coulours in teh background then say 'when sprit touching coulor (red) set coulor to.
