How do I make my sprite appear from thin air?

I want my sprite to appear on the SECOND stage, but it keeps appearing from the very beginning of the game. How can I make it hide from the very beginning then make it appear when the second stage appears??

Re: How do I make my sprite appear from thin air?

a stage is just a background in Scratch, sprites are always there.

you can make it hide from the beginning and make it show up when you broadcast something:

when green flag clicked
hide

when I receive [stage 2 v]
go to x: (0) y: (0)
show
on the stage, you'll need something like this:

switch to background [stage 2 v]
broadcast [stage 2 v]
I hope this can get you started  smile
