Fetching a sprite placed outside the stage...

I have a sprite that seems to have slipped beyound the stage. It has script on it, so I don't want to delete it.
I cannot drag it back to the stage as it already has a copy on the stage.
If I click on the small thumbnail in the sprite list I see a rectangle flash quickly way below the stage area (actually it flashes in the sprite list area)
Clicking on the “>” arrow shows Y is way below, but I cannot change its value.

Anyone know how to get it back into the visual area of the stage?
Thanks a bunch

Thanks for your reply.

The problem I have is that it's outside the stage in edit-mode.
I want to re-position it to fit my layout, but I cannot select it. And I don't want to delete it since it has a bunch of scripts on it… And I cannot position antoher one on the stage as it's already there…

If you use the block above in the sprite it will go to the center of the stage.

How did it get outside of the stage in the first place? I am curious to know how you did that.

Click the sprite that is off the stage and drag the above block from the motion category anywhere into the scripts of the sprite. Be sure to change the X and Y on the block to 0. Then click on the block to run it and it should move the sprite back to the center of the stage.

The semicolon will never be forgotten!

Ah, ok. Of course… Thanks a lot for helping me (should have figured that one out by myself, but sometimes you just get a mental block).

I dragged the sprite on to the stage, and then I wanted to drag it off the stage again (I'm actually only working with clones of that original sprite), and I tried to do so by dragging it outside the stage area, downwards over the sprite list. And then it got stuck there.

Again, thanks a lot!
