Im working on a project for school, and in my movie, a sprite is supposed to appear only once and for a few seconds. Im thinking that maybe the [blocks]<show>[/blocks] and [blocks]<hide>[/blocks] blocks can help me with this, but i don't know how to program these blocks so that the sprite can appear and disappear at specific points in a movie. hmm And no, I can't make it so that my sprite will hide when it touches another sprite, because the sprites are supposed to be separate from each other when the sprite appears. Can anyone provide me with a solution to this problem?

Well, you could tell it to wait, and then appear at a certain time.

Like this:
<when green flag clicked>
<wait( the wanted amount of time before it appears )secs>
<show>

[do whatever the sprite is supposed to do now]

<hide>

Or, another sprite could tell it when to appear.

sprite 1's script:

<when green flag clicked>

[do whatever]

<broadcast[ make the sprite2 appear

sprite 2's script:

<when I receive[ make the sprite2 appear
<show>

[do whatever]

<hide>

Yes that's right. That will work. At a specific time in a script if you want it to hide, just put the hide block. Same goes for the show.
