Open a GIF in Scratch?
When I try to open a GIF in scratch, it just gives me a single frame of the animation. Is there a way to convert a GIF into a series of frames to view/use in scratch?

If I'm not mistaken, you have to drag the image onto Scratch is you want all the frames of the GIF to be imported. 
Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease

Aside from cheddargirl's method, you can also make a sprite with a random costume, go to its costumes, import your GIF from there, and delete the first costume.

Hey, good tip, If you want to put a background on your gif, once you've imported it, just go into the paint editor for each costume and use the fill tool with transparency.
Be happy! Spring is coming! And spring cleaning...
