Re: Instansing of sprite elements
If I understand your post correctly you are looking for something like "Sprite Duplication" or "Cloning" currently you can not do this in Scratch.
If I misread your post then just clarify your question and I'll try and give you an answer.
I've taken a long hiatus, but I still visit sometimes. Give me some time to answer any messages you post on my projects!

Re: Instansing of sprite elements
If you mean what demosthenes said, you can do it somewhat, but not really. The sprites have to be made already, you can't create new sprites in a program (at least not with just scratch). In which case you would have to set up a variable that would tell each sprite if it should go.

Re: Instansing of sprite elements
If I understand what you're asking, then no. Any sort of cloning isn't supported by the current version of Scratch. Jwosty's upcoming mod, Blocktalk, will let you define a sprite class and then make instances of it. A "clone" feature is also being considered for future versions of Scratch.

Re: Instansing of sprite elements
As of now, there are no working Cloning functions of any time. The best way is to have a decent amount for the actual thing itself (i recommend 10 for shooters, 20 for small things...) and you can code one sprite and duplicate using the duplicate function in the sprite pane.
