Re: how to import animated sprites
To import an animated image, click the sprite that you want to have the animated image as on of its costumes, then click "import" and select the image that you want to import.. If you are wondering where to find animated images, then just do an online search for "animated gifs".

Re: how to import animated sprites
These are two different questions: How do I import an animated GIF (which many are calling an animated sprite)? and Why isn't my imported animated GIF still animated once it is in Scratch?
An animated GIF is a special image format that stores a sequence of images and some proprietary code describing how long they should each be displayed for and in what sequence.
When you import an animated GIF into Scratch (and it is easiest to drag them from a browser into Scratch) all of the images are copied as costumes, but you lose the GIF code. So if you want the imported images to be animated you'll have to add your own Scratch code. Maybe like this:
When Flag pressed
Forever
wait .03 seconds
next costume
End of Forever
