Where did my sprite go?!?!?!?

I was working on my new game when all of a sudden my sprite just disappeared. I was in presentation mode about to test my project when I clicked the flag to start the project. The main sprite wasn't there! So I said to myself, "Okay, I probably forgot to put in a show block"  So I put in the show block and It still didn't show up. I went to the costumes tab to see if was still there and there was no picture. So I went to edit the costume and there was no sprite! That's when I said, "Houston, we got a problem."


Well, all the main part of the sprite like the scripts and the sprites tab under the screen was there. The picture had just  disappeared completely. Anyone else ever have this experience?


Dear Scratch Users,
I'm done with scratch, or at least making projects. I have made one last big game, thats both fun and teaches a lesson about water. It'd mean a lot if you gave me feedback.                              http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/bosox397/569201

Actually, mine appear on the screen, but there is no "Sprite1" box! This happens more often with screen-straddling sprites.

This may have something to do with the glitch that has been around where the text dissapears on everything in the Scratch window. Was the sprite text or an image?

That happens to me a lot, but it usually happens when I've just opened a blank scratch project, delete the cat and then draw a sprite.

The sprite was an image, no text at all...

That might be a reason. Did you delete the cat sprite or make a new one?

Re: Where did my sprite go?!?!?!?

Is there some other "hide" block making the sprite quickly disappear right after it shows? that could cause a problem, especially if your show script is just "when green flag clicked - show"

That happens to me almost everytime in scratch which I have to go through great difficulty when that happens to make a game.
