Imagesprite_Spotlight_bug.aia (12,4 KB)
i have set a canvas fillparent hight and width then a image_sprite in it set as visible and with picture
in spotlight i just added subhaeding text and heading text
components are like this
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
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.
