Scratch

Hey everyone,

I'm a long time gamer / former modder and have decided to take a first stab at making games for myself. I've heard that Scratch is a great way to understand the basic fundamentals of game design so here I am with my first project. Cat Pong!

I've made a start with the project, but I've run into some problems that I haven't been able to solve yet, so I'd be gratefull if someone could show me how to fix / add in the following bits and pieces.

Sorted Issues
1) At the moment when the cat hits either the top or bottom spikes, it says the message for a certain time and then stops moving. Is it possible to have the motion stop immediately but still have it saying the message

2) If you download the thing and open it in scratch, I'm looking for a way to have sprite 1 hidden at the beginning of the game (I know how to do this) and then bring it to the front when the cat hits the spikes. Its a fail message 

That's all for now, I've got quite a few cool ideas that I plan on building in later so I'll likely have more questions to ask. Hope you can help me out here
