Sprites in events

Hey. I'm not really new to making RPG's, I have been trying to make them alot, but one thing stops me. When I make and event to add a member or when I try to make an event when someone is running, then should dissapear, I do not know how to make them dissapear. Someone tryed to show me how before but i got confuzed. I willing to try again, just make sure I Know what your talking about.
Please! Someone!

Switchs... TEH LINK NOOB! 

When you want it to dissapere turn on a switch. Make a new page. Make one of the conditions the switch you just turned on. Make the spirte blank.

-sigh- now the sprtie from the first time isnt showing up 

Make sure the switch is on the second page, an example, Switch 1 ON Hero Disappear, and have sprite as nothing. With this, make sure the first page has the switch happen. Example,

Message: [Hero] I WILL get my revenge!!!!
Move Event: [Hero] 3 left etc to edge of screen or something
Switch 1: ON

Another thing I do sometimes is in the move event tab, after selecting directions etc, I make image none, (One of the selections on the right, can't remember what it's called)

Hope this helped.

page one:
spirit: person
event side of the page: what ever you want, runnning blah, at the end self switch a turn on.
trigger: what ever you want to first get it to start

page two:
Spirit none
on the top left click self switch, and make a self switch A
event on the right, none.
set to parallel process.

if you just want the character to dissappear after an event

either put in the move event

change opacity "0"

or make it so that the event itself depends on a switch, then
turn the switch off at the end of the event.
