I don't think you can put scratch sprites into game maker.

Scratch Sprites are just images. To find them in game maker go to:
:C > Program Files > Scratch > Media > Costumes
They should be in there.

Scratch *costumes* are just images, but scratch *sprites* are collections of costumes and scripts.  The costumes are easily ported between applications, but the scripts are not.

Re: how do i use sprites from scrach in other programs?

After many years of computer programming, being precise comes naturally to me.
It may also help that I used to teach technical writing classes, and so became aware of how many ways there were to write badly.

I've seen more promising careers derailed by an inability to write English fluently than for any problems with math, engineering, programming, or research skills.
