How to get a button to start painting

Dear friends,

I've a student developping a project to teach some basic math concepts. In her proposal, it's needed a button to start drwaing things using the etoys paintbox. Because it will be needed several times I can't recommend the "do menu item" "repaint". 

Anny suggestiont to help solve this problem will be appreciated.

Luis

Hi Luis,
The attached project works with repaint buttons for two objects, more as needed.

Hi,

If I understood your problem correctly, I think you can create an empty drawing and in the button script put something like this:

[ Sketch | copy | do menu item | repaint ]

So now, when you click the button you'll be repainting a copy of the original sketch and you can use it many times.

Cheers,

Richo
