; optional
; File /oname=spltmp.wav "my_splashshit.wav"

advsplash::show 1000 600 400 -1 $TEMP\spltmp

Pop $0 ; $0 has '1' if the user closed the splash screen early,
; '0' if everything closed normally, and '-1' if some error occurred.

Delete $TEMP\spltmp.bmp
; Delete $TEMP\spltmp.wav
FunctionEnd

If this is your whole script then you need to add at least one Section and OutFile.
But if it is only fragment of script then it is correct

For an example, please look in your NSIS installation folder, at NSIS\Examples\Example1.nsi and Example2.nsi. To find out what a specific command does, use the command reference: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/Chapter4.html

why the splash screen doesn't display here is my script it only extract the file

Function .onInit
SetOutPath $TEMP
File /oname=splash.jpg "blue.jpg"
advsplash::show 1000 500 200 -1 $TEMP\splash
Pop $0 ; $0 has '1' if the user closed the splash screen early,
FunctionEnd
Outfile "samplepicture.exe"
Section "DESKTOP"
SetOutPath $DESKTOP
File "sample.txt"
SectionEnd

There is no problem in the code: I can see splash correctly.
Check all files, their location or any result from compiler.
