Thanks. I figured out what it was...I was trying to paste a text object into paster. I switched to the spritefont and the image records all the pasted object.

Great plugin!!!!

I tried to paste the paster section (with sprites and text on it) into itself and downloaded the results using the browser object but I only get a black rectangle..... Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

Hi,

I was referenced to use paster if I want to take a snapshot of just part of my canvas.

" paster plugin can let you do that (you paste the section inside it, then you download the corresponding URI using the browser object."

I am trying to make a math scratchpad and only want to save a section of the canvas. Can someone point me in the direction of how to do this?

I played around with the pluggin but cannot seem to get this to work.

Thanks in advanced

Hi,

I can not seem to get this to work with the paster plugin....Can you post an example?

Thanks

Here is what I got so far and I plan to create all the symbols in 1 sprite with initial color and clicked color for each symbol. I am not sure which approach works best for this project.....or would it be better to use a combination of both?

Thanks. This works and I like the approach. I set up one using variables.

I am trying to create a math scratchpad that the user clicks a button (first click) and the created math symbol attaches to the mouse and is released with the second click. After that the created symbol can be dragged and dropped "normally" by holding down the mouse key if it is later needed to move.

I thought of this approach because some times the student would click the button several times so it would create too many symbols around the button.

I am new to construct 2 and I am trying to set it so a player clicks a sprite image (as if a button). The sprite is cloned and sticks to the mouse so the new cloned sprite can be dragged and dropped any place on the screen with the second mouse click.

I can clone the sprite but need the new object to stick to the mouse until placed on the screen with the second left click.

Any examples or suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks in advanced.

Thanks. I will give this a try.

Hi,

I am making a scratch pad quiz that records work and want to just snapshot that section. Is there a way to just take a snapshot of part of the canvas instead of the entire canvas? Or snapshot the canvas and crop before saving?

I have done this is other game engines but not in construct 2.

Thanks in advance.
