Scratch

If I remember correctly, you just have to drag the GIF image from the folder it's in into the Scratch window.

Really? That's odd; I was able to just import the GIF with the "import" button. ...Can you do that too?

Using the Import button works for me too... oh well, Ur-86, just try drag-and-drop or the import button.

...i can't import or drag and drop... i can only view the full gif with internet explorer. it's saved in pictures though. If i try to import, the image of the gif is blank. if i drag that in nothing happens

it still doesn't work... 

Maybe someone just typed .gif after it but saved it as a different filetype?

You should get the shareware version of GraphicsGale (or get a similar good program), load the .Gif into it, then re-save it as a .gif.

If that doesn't work then I don't know ... maybe the file got corrupted?

I'd try re-saving it anyway. Some files are older versions and may work a little different.
This could be the case with this. If a re-save don't work, then try re-downloading it.
If that don't work I guess you're back to square one.
But it's always best to try everything that you can.

You know what I find funny? Yoda from Star Wars says "Do or Do Not, there is no Try",
but it's a Lie I tells ya! ... You simply can't fit a square peg in a round hole!, But you sure as 'ell can Try!
