i've created a loading screen/loading bar and it works fine, but when everything is done loading and the screen switches to the game, all the other 2d stuff is hidden. the loading image is a sprite and is screen size and it covers all the 2d stuff, but even when i hide or delete the sprite, the 2d stuff is not there. i dont know why. here is my loading code.
