Tips for using and moving blocks

To run a block (or a stack of blocks), double-click on it.

To pick up and move a stack of blocks, drag from the top block.

To disconnect blocks, drag any of the lower blocks away.

To add a block to a stack, first drag the lower blocks down.

Want to delete blocks? Here are three different ways to delete blocks:
* Click the Scissors tool, then click on the blocks.
* Drag the blocks back to the palette (left part of the screen)
* Right-click (Mac Ctrl+click) on the blocks, the select "delete"

Now with Scratch 1.2 you can add blocks to the middle of a stack!

Re: Tips for using and moving blocks

This is a very elementary question, but I am a beginner:
How can you copy a stack from one sprite to another?

Thank you very much for your answer

You drag the stack (from the very top which is the hat block) and literally, under the player there is a list of sprites, and you drag it into the sprite. Voila!

Hat blocks:


<when green flag clicked>
<when[  ]key pressed>
<when[  ]clicked>
<when I receive[

most likely

[blocks]<when green flag clicked> or:

<when I receive[

[/blocks]

at least that is what good programers do.
