hello, I have tried to make the sprite drawing line change colour but it doesn’t work. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/f/af3e9437c979c4a13d27825d9ad7aaa2e21e3f23.png) ---

Hi there @Robotpro. Why don’t you try to use the sprite to draw different colors? I mean that assume you have two sprites in your project.They are red pen and blue pen. Set the red pen drawing color to red and blue pen drawing color to blue. When you drag the red pen and it would drawing along with red line.The blue is also. ---

I’ve built that code, to change the drawing color. A button that changes it to a new drawcolor, that is. But for me the button press makes the canvas disappear in the live test and the responsive web app page. ---

For me, when I click on the Red button, it crashes when trying to change the drawing width to 10. I’m not sure why. ---

As far as I see, all the colors cause a crash. I tried taking the two other pieces of code out of the button press to change that color, and it still causes the crash. ---

Any idea how to make them not crash, but instead change the drawing color for a sprite? ---

It took me a while to realize what you’ve done wrong. You’re using an Any Component block to set the Stage properties. And you’re specifying `Sprite1` as a stage. But it’s not a stage… it’s a sprite. You need to either refer _directly_ to a sprite or if you for some reason still need to use the Any Component blocks then you need to `set Sprite...` **not** `set Stage...` **Edit:** And actually, I don’t think this is possible at all with a sprite. The normal drawing width block is this one: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/6/662cf3683fa21bbe774f2f306ace3fc5f2b1d787.png) You were trying to force a sprite to have a property (Drawing Width) that it doesn’t normally have. Hence the crash! ---
