You cannot export Scratch Projects (.sb) into other file formats.  However, if you are making an animation in Scratch, you can use Screen Recorder Software like Hypercam and record your video.

Oh, and don't put your email anywhere on the website.

being concerned, as i am, about web standards and knowing that the use of the 'applet' tag is deprecated since HMTL 4.01, i suggest the 'object' tag be used to embed scratch apps in websites. in its simplest form it would be:

<object classid="java:ScratchApplet.class" type="application/x-java-applet" archive="ScratchApplet.jar" width="482" height="387">
    <param name="project" value="your_project_name_here.sb" />
</object>

if you want to make IE happy the 'object' tag would be a bit more verbose...

Hi,
I have a student who has used Scratch for a GCSE project. All she needs now is to embed it into a HTML code so she can burn her site to a CD and send to the exam board.

However, when she pastes the code given it doesn't work. I have checked that she has downloaded the correct files - she has. She has the applet, the sound file and the scratch project in the same folder as her html page.

The message in the status bar when the page loads says: Applet ScratchApplet notinited. If you click on where the Scratch story should appear the message in the status bar says Loading Java Applet failed.

Does any one have any ideas to help us out?

We will post her project on the Scratch website once it has been marked by the exam board but first we have to get it into a web page so they can see it.

Thanks for any help.

I saw the scratch "softboard" you can do it on a phone and share it to other phones.

im trying to do a project for one of my teachers but he wants me to post the animation on his website any way i can do this?

ok...what about turning into a movie format...

Ms-r   With Scratch you can distribute your Scratch project .sb file to those you want to share with, and if they have the Scratch application they could open it on there end without you having to share your project online. 

The technique described below allows projects to be posted on your own website, or even to be run from a computer without the Scratch application.  There are multiple files involved, and so this approach may make more sense when burning a project to a CD for someone. 

We do not currently have a way to convert  to Flash swf files, but it is an idea that has been discussed and may be considered in the future.

yeah you can chage them to .exe

Scratch2Exe – convert Scratch projects into .exe! - http://chirp.scratchr.org/dl/ChirpCompiler-setup.exe

Hasn't anyone found a way to make it work yet? I really want to be able to upload my projects to my own website. I've tried loads of different variations of code and files but nothing seems to work. I think there is a problem with the ScrathApplet..jar code...

As the mod say NO. you really have to make it as HTML

You cann't convert .sb files into anything else.

Would it be possible to upload something from a different "version" of Scratch (talking about what Jens does)?

How would you embed if you are using Freewebs? I tried it as an image and it didn't work. I am going to try it as an applet. If that does not work, are there any other easy ways?

What? If you are talkign about me, Freewebs doesn't allow you to make an upload mechanism
