I do sprite-stamping projects that require 100+ sprites that all have the same (often huge) set of costumes. Instead of duplicating them one at a time via drag and drop, I use an outside editor to combine all the images into a single animated gif. Forget that it is an animated gif, the important thing here is that dragging that gif onto a sprite's costume list will add each image (or animation layer) as a separate costume.

ps.. miss everyone here, I'll be back when I get Internet at home (but I am getting some cool projects done) Peace All!!

Couldn't you just duplicate a sprite (right-click on its icon in the list and select Duplicate)? But eh the .gif method is really cool tongue

Yeah, that works for creating/copying sprites but not if you need to go back and edit their costumes later (after they've been uniquely scripted)

Nice trick! Another one is to simply select all the wanted images and drag them over the sprite. smile

... which works a bit better because it is less work, every image is easily editable and you don't lose so much quality to .GIF compression smile
