placing copies of sprites (actual scratch program)
This is an idea that I have thought through. On game maker (another game desighning program that I have), you can do 'place instance of object 32... Can that happen on scratch, a suggestion for this to work scratch style is.
<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<if <mouse down>>
<create copy at <mouse pointer>>
<wait <0.2> secs>
<when copied>
<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<if....>
<...............>
<..............>
I thought you could do that without making a whole new game programmer.
EDIT: wowser! I didn't want the blocks to appear!

Re: placing copies of sprites (actual scratch program)
Ah yes, there are commands in flash action script that allow you to create new instances of sprites. One command called attachMovie(); and another is called duplicateMovieClip(); . Attach movie attaches a sprite from the library and duplicate Movie Clip duplicates an existing sprite on the stage. When you make new instances of sprites with these commands you can also change some of it's attributes like position, transparency length width,ect. Some sort of simple "cloning" feature in scratch would be so great and would eliminate the need for people to create many copies of a sprite.
