Which sprite is selected after loading?

When I save a project with a sprite X selected in the sprite window, the selection may apparently get lost. In my case, it's the *stage* that is selected after reloading. This is a bit inconvenient, since I would like to control whose scripts the kids see when they load the project. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks a lot from Kinderlabor.ch

Thank you for pointing out this workaround, Karen! Actually, I want the kids to see the sprite with the fewest (zero) scripts, since I want them to program it. So I will just tell them to select it first.

Thanks!

Bernd.

I asked the lead developers of Scratch and here's what they told me:

"I believe Scratch automatically select the sprite with the most scripts. So, you could fake it out by adding a bunch of empty hat blocks to the sprite you want to have selected."

Hope that helps!
