Why sprite in invisible mode - pressed?

You need to provide a whole lot more information. Showing the code that sets up the sprite and does whatever when pressed would help.

Making a sprite not visible doesn't take it out of play for physics and such.

yes a sprite will still return a click/touch positive response weather invisible or not.

this a good feature, because you can put invisible square sprites on the screen and use these to control a character if the player presses left or right.

if you don't want your sprites to be click detected, move your invisible sprites to a SPRITE GROUP and put a condition so that clicks are only detected for a certain SPRITE GROUP.

SPRITE GROUPS are VERY Powerful!

For this is 'DummySprite'. Simple sprites do not have to click in invisible mode.

Really, I don't think that is correct. Unless you do something like bjadams suggests, all sprites, visible or not, will respond to clicks/touchs, unless they are behind another sprite.

Do you have some sample code that shows otherwise?

Large sample code...

To quickly move from the location to the location I pre-load the sprite animations and effects. But in some locations, they do not need and I do not unload them and makes them invisible. But they remain clickable and obscured other sprites.

Try moving the invisible ones 'off' the screen, then they won't be clickable because they won't be where the user can click them.

either move them off the screen or use sprite groups

this is the way agk works, and i see nothing out of this world, it's very easy to get used to this system

If you have one big sprite for your background image, you can just put the sprites you don't need "behind" the big one, using SetSpriteDepth(). Assigning the sprites to sprite groups would make it very easy to put a whole group "behind" or "in front of" that background sprite.

That screenshot is beautiful!

For all this, it is necessary to write any code to hide and to show! In my own engine for Windows I made two properties the sprite: Enable & Visible. Enable - for update, Visible - for render. This provides a rich opportunity to work with sprites in automatic mode. Also added the ability to click according to transparency. All this is not in AppGameKit, where to do this all the time to set the depth and display the sprite off the screen. In sprite group lacks the ability to specify the sequence of animations of sprites in the group - and it is most often used in interactive.
