"When flag clicked, glide (insert number) secs to x: (insert number coordinance) y: (insert number coordinance), change color effect by (insert number), say "Hello World" for (insert number of seconds) secs, stop script.  Finish project and test it.  If you don't remember to test your project might not work without you knowing.

New Scratch Members, you might notice that you can't make threads, have signatures, or do other things that some other people do. That is because you are a 'New Scratcher,' not a 'Scratcher.'  This is a way of reducing spamming on the forums.  To become a Scratcher, try to be active and nice on the Scratch Forums and the Scratch Main Page.  Eventually you will become a Scratcher.



Please do not use the Scratch Forums for conversations, spamming, or inapropriate uses.  Thank You!

Have Fun Scratching!
