Scratch on a laptop.

Well, I have found myself in a position where I need to use a laptop to Scratch. So, how do I drag and drop on a laptop?

Re: Scratch on a laptop.

I am guessing it is one of those with no mouse buttons or you would not be having the trouble.
On most of them like that, you tap once to click then quickly take your finger off, then press back down and slide your finger.

Re: Scratch on a laptop.

Double tap and slide.

EDIT: what kind of laptop are you using?

Re: Scratch on a laptop.

Isn't there a mouse button on your laptop?

Regardless, as Harakou pointed out, you should be able to open your projects in the same way as on a normal computer: open up Scratch, find your file in Scratch, and open it. Opening it through the normal Windows file system isn't always foolproof.

There's never a problem with the file system on a Mac...

Well - it really depends on how you've installed it.
