I had recently had a problem that was very much alike. The answer was simply
the sprite wasn't present in the score anymore because I jump to a frame in
which I didn't used the sprite. If that's what you do try to put
on endsprite me
timeOut("Shrink").forget()
end
into the sprites behaviour.
Hope it helps.
