I have it that when you click on the item it brings up a menu using the Simple Menu Plugin. The choices are Look and Take. I have it that when Take is clicked on it simulateshotspotclick code in the simple menu plugin code area. Then I have the hide and disable code that is executed in the blank hotspot (simulated hotspot). (I have it like this because I can't fit all the code onto one line of text area that comes with Simple Plugin. Is there a way to add all your code on one line?)

It makes the hotspot disappear but when I go back to the frame from another frame (using go to last visited frame) the item reappears back.

If this is confusing I will try to explain it a little better.

Thank You

Edit: Well I figured it out using your code for the "Found" Text Script. This is the code I used in the frames property to fix this problem:

If HideItem = 1 then
Hotspot(10).Picture = Nothing
Hotspot(10).Enabled = False
End If

Then under the simulatehotspotclick (10) I put this code:

HideItem = 1

It works!!

The hotspot disappears but it reappears when you come back to the frame.

Do this.

Create an integer variable (ex. hide_me)

Where ever you put the code to disable the hotspot, add this:

hide_me = 1

Now go to this frame's properties - advanced and add this:

If hide_me = 1 then
hotspot(index).picture = nothing
hotspot(index).Enabled = False
end if


As for adding several lines of code to one line, use a ":" between each command
