I’m trying to build a simple swiping module that works similar to tinder using sprites. I’ve gotten it to (kind of) work but I’m having several issues issue.

**Issue 1:** Whenever I change the image of the sprite using a block it messes up the Fixed Rotation. The sprite starts dancing all over the place when I change the image.

**Issue 2** Whenever I change the angle of the sprite it also messes up the fixed rotation.

**Issue 3** How can I keep the sprites from being dragged off the stage?

**Issue 4** This isn’t really an issue, but I can’t figure out how to dynamically change the sprites image to something that isn’t already uploaded. Is this possible or would I have to upload every single version of the sprite. It would be great to be able to set a sprites image to a url.

If something goes wrong with the sprite when using some blocks, then I see the only way out is to use other blocks that restore the desired values. If there are no such blocks, then there is nothing you can do about it.

> Issue 3 How can I keep the sprites from being dragged off the stage?

You can use either a collision check with the canvas borders, or (which in my opinion is more reliable) a timer with a check for sprites leaving the canvas

There is no such function yet
