Can anyone tell me how to have boxes and text to be placed over top of sprites without using Hide Sprite. I am trying to have a menu bar but the sprites appear over top of it instead of under. Does anyone have a suggestion or an answer???

You can make the text itself a sprite by going......

charname$= "Char. Name"
set text font "Enviro"
Set text size 30
Set text to bold
tw = text width(charname$)
th = text height("A")
create bitmap 17, tw, th
text 0, 0, charname$
get image 17, 0, 0, tw, th
delete bitmap 17
sprite 17, 300, 503, 17

... and give your menu sprite(s) a higher priority to make them display in front of all others.

Set the colour of your text by using the ink command. Have a look at the Text Command set in the help from the Editor.
