Re: How do i use a sprite as a button
Hey, and welcome to Scratch, Lilhardy94! Actually, since this topic is about script help, it belongs in the Help With Scripts forum section. I've asked a community moderator to move it there, so that's where you'll probably find it next time you look for this topic. 
You'll want to first do this script:
when gf clicked showon the sprite button. (You'll also want to make sure the sprite isn't blank, change it in the costume tab)
Then, you'll want to do this:
When (sprite1) clicked broadcast (broadcast1)And then to make it do something when the broadcast is sent, build onto this:
When I receive (broadcast1)

Re: How do i use a sprite as a button
I've just moved this over to the "Help with Scripts" forum, for you, Lilhardy94 
And may I say: Welcome to Scratch!
Under the yellow "Control" section of the Scratch program, you should see this block:
when sprite clickedTo use it with a broadcast, attatch a broadcast block to the bottom:
when sprite clicked broadcast [message v]Wow. I totally failed to get the block to work in this post! Stevetheipad has answered the question above while I was writing, though, so listen to him!

Hehe, I beat-cha to it.
And sparks: use "When (sprite) clicked" instead of "When sprite clicked", and broadcast names live in parenthesis, too.
