Hello @mookydoodlesmjv9u and welcome to the community! 🎉 The event “when sprite is dropped” is triggered when the user stops dragging the sprite. To see a difference you need to add a block inside. For example,+ hide and connect the component ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/2/02fff80d036d1566dee4a2a5031c326c3d5e2b85.png) ---
