How do you bring animated GIFs to scratch?
I've heard that Zelda123 (I think) and Archmage do it, so how to you bring animated gifs to scratch. For example when I go to that mcleodgaming.com sprites place, and I right click on one of the animations and copy it into paint, it just becomes, 1 picture. Is the process I'm doing incorrect? Am I doing the wrong thing to put it into paint? WHAT DO I DO?

Don't put it into paint. Just download the picture by right clicking and pressing save as.

And to think before I used to go to the sprite sheet, copy it into paint, bring it to scratch, and more.

Re: How do you bring animated GIFs to scratch?
I have a project where I added a gif earth. I just looked on Google and saved it with "save as...". You save it with any name you want. Then you import it to Scratch. A lot of images appear like costumes. To "play" the gif image just put:
[blocks]<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<next costume>
<wait(0.01)secsc>
<end>[/blocks]
Some images don't work (personal experiences) but most of them work.
Hope that helped!
Calling me FAKE won't make you REAL, calling me STUPID won't make you SMART, calling me WEAK won't make you STRONG, calling me UGLY won't make you BEAUTIFUL, calling me POOR won't make you RICH so why bother being MEAN!

I tried that but it still just makes one picture
It shouldn't do that. Import any animated gif and it will split apart the costumes.

It will import as one picture if you use Scratch, click import, and then click on it. To get all of the costumes of the .gif, take it from the folder that you saved it in, and drag it onto the sprite you want it to be on.

Re: How do you bring animated GIFs to scratch?
go here: http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=13770 I wrote a whole thread on it, actually.
Dear Scratch Users,
I'm done with scratch, or at least making projects. I have made one last big game, thats both fun and teaches a lesson about water. It'd mean a lot if you gave me feedback. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/bosox397/569201
