Scratch Secrets

SECRET 1 - Stealing Colors in the Paint Editor
Have you ever needed a color from another sprite, but the paint editor wouldn't let bring the eyedropper tool out of the paint editor? Simply hold down the mouse in the paint editor, drag it to the spot you need the color from, and Voila! The eyedropper tool has the color you need.

SECRET 2 - How To Get Colors Mixed With Gray
People complain about the paint editor not having colors mixed with gray. If you make a rectangle (small enough to fit in the space you're provided) and put gray and whatever color you want in a gradient, you can use the eyedropper tool to get whatever gray color you want!

SECRET 3 - How To Figure Out What a Block Does
If you don't know what a block does, right-click the block and click on "Help". It'll tell you what it does!


Any other scratch secrets you guys have?

Post em!

Re: Scratch Secrets

Do these have to be helpful, or just random? Because I've got one...
