Wow, I don't understand any of those.
But I did try what you suggested (I had always attempted to make them with a white background, not black) and it worked. Thanks.
The way I made it, the flag "4" didn't give the effect I wanted but having the flag as fasle worked just fine.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea but I'll try it anyway.
Rather than start another topic, I'll just ask this related question:
How can I make it so that the sprite flashes only for a split second?
I've tried making timers (via the Millisecs() command) but the sprite never dissapears.
Is there a better solution?
