Trying to build this simple game… The problem is I cannot treat drawing color to transparent can someone try to replicate or suggest me alternate solution. That is to erase the color
Hi @beatbaba7leb, thanks for reaching out.
There is a current known issue with our canvas where setting the background to transparent is not functioning properly. The issue has been acknowledged by our engineering team but unfortunately, we do not yet have a timeline for fixing the issue.
Hi Matt
This is different issue. I’m asking about draw color being transparent. There is nowhere canvas is becoming transparent …stage is becoming transparent
Unfortunately, there is no transparent drawing color available.
Matt
Sorry I’m first I’m using the canvas how do I capture x and y position of the Sprite user touches.
Also how do I make a text label appear at that position or move that label with the text.
Just adding …
The spirit I’m talking about are created using create block.
But just reading from other post I do have a drawing on.
Yesterday when I tried to get… when spirit touch component XY blocks it even stopped creating spirits.
I’m not in front of PC right now so can’t share.
I’d like the ability to erase my on canvas as well.

@beatbaba7leb Do you still need assistance with this? Could you share your blocks if you do so we can help assist?
@matt_conroy I do still need assistance with this, I’m having the same problem as he is, although I have no blocks to share as nothing I try allows me to know where the pointer is, nor can I erase anything with any of the blocks.
I’ve tried a lot of different variations and nothing changes. Do you have some blocks that would get us started?
Each time a click event occurs, you could capture the X and Y position of the sprite through the use of the get X or get Y blocks.
You can also set the label’s X and Y coordinates based on this as well.
Hi Matt
Are the components get X and get Y blocks working I have been told that there is an issue with this blocks
They should be! There is another issue with the canvas blocks:
But this is because of canvas blocks being set when a particular screen loads. They should always be set with the “When canvas loads” block to have behavior that occurs when the canvas component is available. The canvas isn’t loaded when the screen starts which can cause issues or errors.
In the longer term, our engineering team will work to get a fix here so that you can use the when canvas loads block again.
@matt_conroy So then there is not a way to get the location of the pointer?
Hello @overshield
Unfortunately, it seems that Label Canvas blocks don’t have any effect on mobile but they work on Web Preview.
We’re committed to finding a resolution quickly, and we will keep you updated as soon as there is any progress.

Hello @tiny_apps 
The x and y position issue was fixed!
The transparent drawing color is something that we don’t currently support but you could create a Feature Requests about it.
