Hi !!
I have been trying for day to create a screen where i display an image of the Human Body. I need to touch anywhere on the image and get x and y and draw a red dot.
I have been able to accomplish both but not at the same time, meaning i draw the dots but get no coordinates; or the other way around.
Desperately in need of Help !!
Thanks,
Carlos

Hi @Carlos_Bieberach, we are happy to help here. Can you show what blocks you are using to attempt to get the coordinates and draw the dot?
Thank you!

Thank you for your response.
I did a combination of both meaning, dots show on sprite when i touch and coordinates are gathered from canvas - on touch.
Making the sprite 50% transparent allows me to have both all dots and x/y value.
I dont know if this is the correct/best way but it works perfectly.

Hello again Matt,
Something weird happened. For the last 4 days i have been trying to understand what is going on.
Short version:
My only 2 buttons above my canvas stopped working. I went 2 versions back and they work fine. I took photos of these 2 simple pages (old and new) and all is identical.
One button clears the canvas the other invokes my Rest API call to POST information about the dots’s coordinates i have created by touch. These 2 buttons worked fine since i created them 2-3 weeks ago.
On Saturday I added “save canvas as an image” block and I think that’s when my 2 buttons on that screen stopped working.
You click on the buttons and you see the reaction but no execution.
I even removed the 2 blocks inside my Clear sceen button and added an alert just to show the word “hello” and no alert pop up yet the button shows the effect of being pressed. They simple do not execute the blocks in them.
Any ideas?
How can i privately share my project with you?
Carlos

@Carlos_Bieberach There was a bug from last week caused by having a function with an output (return) will cause all other components on the page to also not function.
> [@\[SOLVED\] Known good app crashes as of today, with no additional blocks added](https://community.thunkable.com/t/solved-known-good-app-crashes-as-of-today-with-no-additional-blocks-added/2926436/9):

> We’ve discovered an issue related to a recent release where using a function with an output (return) will cause all other components on the page to also not function. Based on the project above, it looks like that is the culprit of your issue. I do sincerely apologize for the inconvenience here. We’re working now to fix this issue as soon as possible. We’ll keep you updated here as we learn more.
Can you add a new block (e.g. a new click event) into the screen so that the code can recompile for the updated code after the bug fix? This should solve the issue and you should be able to have clicks working again.

Thank you Matt,
Yesterday I added another button just with an alert that reads “Hello”. It doesn’t get invoke when I click on the new button. You can see the “click-effect” on the button when you click on it, but no action is executed.

Good morning Matt,
All my pages have functions that return a result and they work fine. I only have this problem with the page where i use Canvas. Yesterday I remove the block that has the http POST and returns a response but same issue, the 2 buttons click but do not execute.
Any updates from your side ? Customer is getting worried. I don’t what else to tell him.

Hello ioannis,
Web Preview worked.
Then i created a new Form and instead of a Blank Form I selected “Copy from My Screens” because in order to avoid my Apps’s Registration Form and a bunch of security, I added this screen with the Canvas to “My Screens”, tested it with Web Preview and worked, added it back to my App and it shows as Pain1 since i already have a Pain screen. I click, i see my dots. I hit Clear button which invokes block “Clear drwaings on Canvas 4” and it clears the canvas.
I tried 4 - 5 dots created with the touch of mi finger and was able to eras all.
Switched from Design to Blocks and Clear button stops working. I can close and open app again with same results, the button will never work again until i erase the Form and download it again from “My Screens”.
