More tutorials like this would be great for educators.
I am now interested in a game style where the background changes (Flash uses a second scene) possibly menu driven. I am still trying to work out how this is done in Scratch.
I started using scratch in year 3!!!

Hi. I'm still new to Scratch. Please show me the steps to name my sprites. Would really appreciate that. Thanks much.
To name your sprites something other than Sprite1, Sprite2, and so on....
First, select the sprite you want to rename from the list of sprites in the lower right area of the screen. That will make it the current sprite. Then, near the top of the screen, right under the "Save As" button, you will see a text field with the name of the sprite in it. Click in there and type in the new name you want. Then, click somewhere else (outside of the text box) and your sprite will be renamed.

Do you want it to scroll or just switch to another background at a certin point? both are not real difficult

I really like your Scratch tutorial site. You make everything so simple. I am a 13-year-old who is currently doing Scratch at school. But 1 thing I need to ask is how do you get a scratch player on your website?

As far as I know, you don't need a Scratch player. Online, Scratch runs on Java. You can get Javahere.
Get it now!

Re: Scratch Tutorials
Well to get kids interested after they've learnt the basics, you need to show them high-level detail projects. Then they will go "Oh my God, I want to be able to do that!" and they will instantly start pestering you to learn more.

Hey same i'm 13 and I use scratch at school, Any way I'll add the link to the forum I made for my other class mates and also I think there should be a topic on scratch that is all about tutorials other than the new scratch members (because it could be for everyone not just new scratch members).

You mean a separate forum just for tutorials? That's a good idea...I tried making a Tutorials thread but it got buried somewhere. Maybe a forum is the way to go! What do people think of that idea?

Re: Scratch Tutorials
Thanks everybody for your responses ..... I am having a go a rewriting the tutorials this summer over the next few weeks. If you have any ideas for me please post here.... I am starting with a 6 lesson program for beginners but am also looking at the Lego Wedo, Softboard for mobiles, and the Scratch Remote Connections for more advanced lessons.
I am at a bit of a loss for what to put in between the basic and the advanced lessons - I suppose sample projects might do it. I am also seriously looking at BYOB.
My main thing is making sure eveyone understands broadcast - are there other things that people should really learn before they can just build stuff on their own ?

Same here.
There are 10 types of people in this world: Those who understand trinary, those who don't, and those who think this is the same old signature.
