CHANGING COSTUME OF A SPRITE

            A Costume is a specific appearance for a sprite. The Costumes tab displays all the
            costumes for the selected sprite. By default, a sprite uses only one costume. You can
            create  animation in  a project by  changing the costumes of a sprite
            quickly.

                1.  Select the sprite in the Sprites Info pane.

                2.  Click the Costumes tab.
                    All the costumes for the sprite are displayed.

              Mind Fog

             Every sprite present on the Stage must have a costume available for it in the Costumes pane.
             Thus, to remove all the costumes for a sprite, you need to remove the sprite from the Stage.
