Looks - Change Color by block issue
My browser / operating system: Windows 7, Chrome 58.0.3029.110, Flash 26.0 (release 0)
In my SIMON project I ran into an issue where my change brightness wouldn't work anymore. I changed no code, and nothing seemed to fix it. I noticed I had a random, change color effect by (number) block on my score sprite, just sitting there, not in a script, it was just trash that I never threw away.
So I threw it away and my project started working again with the flashing of the buttons. I can recreate it every time. Go to the Score sprite, drag out a change color effect and just put it on the scripting area anywhere. The Simon Color sprite will stop responding to the Flash broadcast and flashes will stop working. Once you throw it away, the buttons will flash, and the game will end.
Very strange. I was out of my mind looking to see what I messed up. Strange that a block not being used in a script can cause such havoc. Is this a known bug?

Edit:
Doing some research. I now notice that if I do ctrl m, then I notice a small graphical change and then the flash buttons do not work. when I do ctrl m again, everything works fine. When I drop a change color effect block on the editor, I notice the graphics change a bit again, and it wont work. This must me a stage3d thing.

Looks - Change Color by block issue
Thanks, I'll read up on that. Made me crazy trying to figure out what happened because the code never changed. Then I lucked out but funny, I just tried to recreate it on my Chromebook and I can't recreate that issue. I can on my windows machine. But there is no issue on my Chromebook when adding a change color block.
Thanks for the reply. I'll remember that moving forward.

I expect the chromebook doesn't support stage3d which is why you don't get the problem on that.
