I do use updateStage (my example that you cite below shows it), but without puppetting, the sprite that is reported to have a bitmap member assigned to it displays its previous text member instead. Similarly, the sprite that reports its visibility as true is in fact invisible--although the visibility button in the Score and the Object Inspector claim that it is visible.

updateStage --I see the bitmap on the stage
I see the same story with setting sprite(1).visible to false and then true: the Message window tells me the prite is visible, but it's not on the stage unless I puppet it.
What's the story?
I think it's just the updatestage that's making it work. How is it if you don't do the puppetsprites, but do just the updatestage?
