You could try using a screen capture program. There's this one called Jing which I found really helpful, and it converts to Flash files - you just need Flash to view it, plus it's really easy to embed into webpages. Here's a link: http://www.jingproject.com/

you can,all you have to do is open documents on your computer,go to scratch projects, put a blank floppy disk in your computer disk drive,burn the selected scratch project to the disk,put the disk to a playstation 2(you need the computer drive upgrade to access the game)and watch or play your project.BUTTONS:Green flag scripts:Start Button,up,down,left,right:direction buttons,If you put questions in the project,you need a key board to answer them.
Questions?   Drop them at my comments

A built in screen-recorder would be great on scratch, but currently that is a long shot. Scratch is great the way it is I think.

how do you make a annimation

I have had a little trouble with the timer function on scratch. You can't pause it, show it or hide it

This isn't really the place to post that. Anyway, the timer function is mainly used for more accurate timing. Really, one of the main things is just to do this with the timer:
<( <timer> <=> number )>

Along with the <reset timer> block, it could be helpful for timing stuff.

The Scratch applet (downloadable from MIT) will run scratch .sb files in java.  That's how the web pages with scratch projects work.

I think you can use Visual Basic to add them, I don't know 
But an export-to-EXE will be good 

Try doing a search on Scratch2exe - it's a utility that Jens made that will package up Scratch and a project into an EXE file that can be run on a Windows PC that doesn't have Scratch installed on it.

i try to found an objet maker , a possible program to do that (more completly or easealy).
je recherche un programme pour editer les objets  ,sprites, pour scratch, (en plus complet ou plus facilement).
do you have a name to suggest please?
auriez vous une suggestion de programe ?

Just ask Jens where his\her Scratch Project to EXE converter.

How do I change a sprite I exported into a JPEG? Please help!

Hey calypso, Scratch exports sprite costumes usually as a BMP file, so, if you want to change it into a JPEG format (or any other format), you'll need an image editor (any one will do). Just open up the image in the image editor and use the 'Save As' menu option to save the image as a JPEG.

For some reason when I export it it is a .sprite file and when I try to open it in a image editor it says it doesn't reconize the file 

This is the easiest solution for CD files.
Place the
Scratch.image
Scratch.exe
Scratch.app
Scratch.(Unix app extension)
And all the DLLs on the Scratch.exe into a CD.
For TV shows insert that into the computer and run the .sb file.
