Hello, I have a student who would like to hide different sprites depending upon settings read from a data base. ![hidingSprites](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/1/d1b50dca321f3236d354f54e5170d0e1615310af.png) This code isn’t working although we have verified that the value from the data base is correct and the if statement is being executed. Any suggestions? Thanks, Ann ---

@Fernando_Matos I’ll immediately offered a solution, but for some reason you have not paid attention to it.[How do I hide Sprites on the canvas?](http://community.thunkable.com/t/how-do-i-hide-sprites-on-the-canvas/281752/2) @ann.rootb8m34j It is necessary to work with high, as in the example here. Press the hide button and show sprite [https://x.thunkable.com/projects/5da6183ab92da47d7bc26c16/project/properties/designer/](https://x.thunkable.com/projects/5da6183ab92da47d7bc26c16/project/properties/designer/) Canvas component is really unstable. For this reason, we come up with different crutches. ---
