Should invisible be inactive?

Using: C3/Subscription/Win10/Chrome

I have several sprites (reload layout, home, level map) set to be initially invisible. However, if I accidentally click on an invisible sprite the function associated with that sprite happens (the layout reloads, the player goes to the home layout or the level map layout).

I thought that an invisible sprite was inactive until it was made visible.

(Talking about Invisible. NOT opacity set to 0%)

Am I way off, or have I done something wrong?

Thanks.

It´s a good idea to have things organized in groups and disable the groups you currently don´t need. Invisible does not mean inactive.

Invisible means not rendered which is ideal for objects that are active, and not meant to be seen.

Unless something has changed...

The usual method for dealing with objects that should not be active is to create them on the fly.

Store useful data for those objects in a data structure like array or dictionary.

Invisible objects are not made inactive. They are only made invisible.

Often, don't forget to disable collisions ( to avoid, for exemple, clicks on invisible objects)
