um archmage... thanks a ton! but I cant get it to work lol I know sad huh...
the problem is the first part the "forever if dragndrop = 1 follow mouse-pointer" part
its the orange forever if, and then a green numbers thing, then dragndrop in the first spot, and then what? I dunno how to get a 1 follow mouse pointer in there haha i know im sorry Im such noob but Id apreciate any advice!!

THANK YOU!!

Isn't there a sprite with a drag-and-drop script in the sprite library?  Under "things" I think.

Where is the drag and drop sprite in the sprite library?  I can't seem to find it.

click the lock to dragndrop on website

i tried it it didn't work for me; if you put that on more than 1 sprite, then the other sprites go the same way that 1 does

im pretty new

When they talk about the library, I'm pretty sure they are just talking about the projects that come with Scratch when you install it.  If you go to Open -> Projects you will see Games, Greetings, Interactive Art and so on.  That is the "library" they are refering to.

If you are looking for the Drag and Drop code...you don't need it anymore.  With the release of version 1.2, you can make any sprite Drag and Drop without any coding at all.  You just have to click on the little padlock icon up by the sprite name and make sure it is unlocked.

They also might be referring to the library of sprites that comes with scratch. 
This is a collection of many images you can use in your project, such as people, objects, fantasy characters, and more.

Under the stage you will see three icons.  The one in the middle with a star on it will bring you to the sprite library.

This will work...but it's easier to just unlock the sprite using the little padlock symbol up by the sprite name.  No scripting required!

Same, Can anyone fix?

Sorry to bump this old thread but I need some help...I want to create something where a user can drag a sprite and once it touches another sprite "Good job!" is broadcast. However, I can't seem to get it to work right...

Right now I have unlocked all the sprites and have:

<when[ sprite1 ]clicked>
<if touching sprite2>
<say[ good job! ]for( 2 )secs>
