Can I define and reference a block?
Hi, I'm wondering if there is a way to define a block of script, and then reference it in another script. I'm thinking of something along the lines of naming a procedure and then simply using the name of the procedure to run all the scripts in it. Does Scratch have this functionality?

Re: Can I define and reference a block?
The closest thing Scratch has to procedures is Broadcast Messages. However, Broadcast Messages do not accept parameters so you end up using global variables. Not ideal...but you can do a lot with them.
There has been talk about adding procedures to Scratch and I believe it is actively under development.
