Hi all,

Does anyone know why some sprite that I uploaded don't have the ability to group/ungroup?
Here's a screenshot of what I mean, if you look at this octopus, I tried to delete and modify the eyes but I can't seem to group/ungroup and so select the eyes.

Whereelse if I use this sprite, I can group/ungroup and select the eyes to edit

Here's the project,

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Hello, Mr. Hope!

This is probably happening because when you upload a sprite, you are editing it in bitmap which means it's one singular image that is only made up of one part. The difference with the Scratch Cat costume is that the Scratch Cat was constructed by people out of shapes. When you upload an image, it's not automatically broken down into shapes that can be grouped and ungrouped which is why it behaves as one image and not a group of shapes.

Hope this answers your question!
