Eng:Hide All Sprites (block)

The Hide All Sprites block was a 2.0 alpha Looks block and a Stack block that was removed. It was only available on the Stage, and would hide all sprites and delete all clones upon usage. The benefits of it are reduced scripting since "hide" would otherwise have to be inserted into every sprite.

Workaround
This block can be replaced by adding this block to the Stage: broadcast [hide all sprites v] Then, on all of the sprites, add this script: when I receive [hide all sprites v] hide

Removal
This block was removed in the Scratch 2.0 beta, for unknown reasons. One of the possible reasons could be because of the easy workaround, or because a situation where one would want all sprites hidden could be a rare occurrence.

Some users have suggested bringing it back.
