Several students are making Happy Mother’s Day card this week. They like the user notes to go away with new computer input. I tried several way of reordering or including in if statement but can’t figure out how to make a text invisible if the text is not a sprite.

thanks for the help.

We have been able to do this by making the text a variable. This is what my kids have in their Code Journals. It may help.

I know this is old but for anyone still wondering as we were yesterday . . . Of my students had a great idea! Make the text size 0 to make it invisible. Worked great!

Oh wow… That’s out of the box thinking. Didn’t even occur to me.
