i think it just dont work with image_sprite do you think you can add this ?

p.s have a nice day Marggx

Is the true on if just for testing?

yes so it executes 100% first before spotlight show

You dont need that. Just set the component and then execute the show block.
No need to do it like you did.

i know but still dont work can you implement it ?

it gives the error from my first post

Not sure.
Image Sprite are not views like other components.
App Inventor created it custom.
And the block “Image_Sprite” have a return value which I don’t know.
I can’t find anything usefull in the source code about it.

Maybe for FAB’s we can create a new block which returns the needed view for spotlight component.

Thank you again :+1:

Can you maybe also add a way to call.spotlight.showspotlight on xy, input x,y
So the spotlight will show on to coordinates on screen

The library which we use does not support such a feature.
