Instead of a batch file in Windows you can also create a shortcut. The nice thing about shortcuts is that you can change the icon, whereas a batch file always has the same icon.

To create a shortcut:
In your Scratch folder, right click in a blank area and select New and Shortcut. A window will pop up and ask you to type the location of the item.
Type:   "C:\Program Files\Scratch\Scratch.exe" Scratch.image project.sb
(Be sure to include the quotes and the two parameters, but replace project.sb with the actual name of your project. If your project name has a space in it, put quotes around it: "Dogs and Cats Fighting.sb")
Click Next. Type a name for your shortcut, whatever you want. Click Finish. You're done! Double-click the shortcut to run Scratch and auto-load your project.

Now that you have a shortcut, you can change the icon. Right click your shortcut and select Properties; Click Change Icon... Where it says "Look for icons in this file," enter c:\windows\system32\SHELL32.dll for more windows icons, or supply your own. Creating your own icons is a topic for another day!

I couldn't get the run.bat to work either.  Saw the same thing as described by bobboder,  it opens a window for a split second and then vanishes. I didn't switch platforms ever, only using Windows.

You need addtional programming. Here's the code:

start "scratch" "C:\Program Files\Scratch\Scratch.exe" "C:\Program Files\Scratch\Scratch.image" presentation "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Scratch Projects\your project here.sb"

Just replace {your project here.sb} with your projects name.
Also, make sure it's only one line!

Hope that helps!

is there a SIMPLE way to just import your project to a CD, to plug into any computer, without having to download scratch, or importing all of scratch to play it?

Try this or this - this is basically the way to set up your Scratch project like a .exe file that can be downloaded to and run from  a disk without the need for Scratch.

Just a bit of a warning: the procedure *might* not be a simple as you want it to be. ^^;

also i need a way to do something that says if i recive (brodcast ???) then do this/
when i recive ??? then do this...
take a phone, that 1 brodcasts 1 2 brod. 2, etc.
so i can do
when i recive 2
then
wait untill i recive 1
4
6
etc.

Hmm, I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean here, so I'm not sure how I'm able to help you out here. 

Also, you might have better luck posting this question as a new topic in the "All About Scratch" forum, where it is better likely to be seen by more Scratchers who can help you out there.

HOW TO...
Create an icon in Windows

1. Click Start > Run and type mspaint.exe. Click OK and Paint should start.
2. Go to Image > Attributes and set Width to 32 and Height to 32.
3. Draw your icon in the small space. DO NOT resize that space or the icon WILL NOT WORK!
4. Go to File > Save As... and type filename.ico, where filename is the name you would like to give your icon. Do not worry about the "Save As Type" box.
5. Once your icon is saved right click the shortcut you created and click on Change Icon. Then click on Browse and find the icon you just created. Click OK and then click on your icon. Press OK twice. Your icon is now attached to the shortcut. If you move the location of the icon, repeat this step.

No shortcut was created. O_O

Is There A Way Open A Project In Another Project?

No, there is not.

A Scratch *project* is not always only one *program* - when you create a Scratch project, you bundle all required Scripts, sounds, images and more in your project. Therefore it is not required to "call" another program from within a Scratch program.

In other programming languages, like DOS batch files, it  is.

WRONG! Sort of.

Me neither. O_O

I don't think you're allowed to sell your game...


for mac computers-drag the whole scratch folder to a disc, and burn.
if it's a usb, you don't need to burn.
