Hiding a sprite

[DezOnlyOne]

I have a few sprites that I am using for info panels in certain camera views. I want to hide and show different sprite panels depending on the camera angles. 

I really just need to know how to hide a sprite.

Am I missing something? Shouldn't this be something simple to do?

not sure, i have not worked with sprites yet but id assume:

sprite.isVisible = false;
or like sripte.setEnabled(false);

I tried that earlier, but it doesn't work.

dispose it and then recreate it when needed?

Turn its alpha color to 0?

Im assuming your rotating a camera around a sprite like a character and have different sheets for if its the side vs front ect... So I would lean tword disposing.

I am not sure why turning its alpha to 0 does not work, but it didn't. dispose gets rid of it, but for some reason when I recreate it does not come back.

It's not ideal, but you can set the size to 0.

For brevity's sake I went ahead with size 0. Thanks everyone.
