Hi, I'm a new user here at scratch and we're using this program in our course in Computer Science to create interactive games for kids. I was wondering how to make rotating objects that are moving. Using the move x degrees only lets it move in circles, and rotating it 360 degrees doesn't work. Thanks in advanced for the help

It sounds like you want a sprite to rotate while still changing its x and y positions, yes?
Perhaps two scripts running simultaneously might be what you need: one to control the rotation, the other to control the sprite movement in the x and y direction. The following blocks control sprite position:

<move(     )steps>
<go to x       )y      
<glide(     )secs to x       )y      
<change x by(   
<set x to(   
<change y by(   
<set y to(   
[/blocks]

Do it like this:
[blocks]<when green flag clicked>
           <forever>
             <move( any number needed )steps>
             <turn cw (any #)degrees> OR  <turn cw (any #)degrees>
           <end>[/blocks]
Hope that helps!!!!!
