Re: How do I make an animated icon in scratch then make it my icon???

Try this:

You will need GIMP, which is free to download.
Right click on the first costume, and click "export costume". Save it somewhere. Now do this for all of the other costumes. Save them all in the same place. Open the first one in GIMP. Select all of the other ones and drag them into the Layers panel's white space where the layers are. Now, drag them to rearrange them in the correct order, from bottom to top. Now go to File --> save as, and add ".gif" to the end of your filename. You can handle the rest. If it asks about indexing the image, just let it do it automatically.

Enjoy your GIFs!

What I mean is can I make an animation IN SCRATCH and then have it as my icon? Good advice, so I'll try it!

It's kinda hard to make one in scratch, i'm not sure whether you can....
If you do animations by doing slides then make the slides and use a gif making site, i used picason for mine and it worked really well
Hope this helped
