If you need help ........... ask me!
Hi to all new Scratchers,
I have been at Scratch for a while now and feel that maybe some New Members might need some help; whether it be with programming, or something a bit diferent. So if you are a New Scratch Member, and you have a problem, feel free to ask. But I assure you, I am making no promises, as I am not a brilliant ScratchR myself!

In the current version of scratch you can't save files.
I've taken a long hiatus, but I still visit sometimes. Give me some time to answer any messages you post on my projects!

how do you mean 'save'? As in save a word document or save your progress? If it is the latter as demosthenes said it isn't possible, although you could give out passwords, otherwise just click save at the top

Re: If you need help ........... ask me!
I don't have access to wireless internet so I can't use my OLPC laptop. However, I do have a regular computer with the internet, and I got my scratch project onto a flash drive. Can I upload the scratch project on a non olpc computer?

As long as the computer has Scratch installed, yeah, you can.

Re: If you need help ........... ask me!
U can make a animated avatar by just going into paint editer and drawing a sprite.
then go to paint new sprite and just change the sprite a little bit to make it do something like dance, ect. Then in the scripts section, have this script:
forever
next costume
wait .05 (or .1, whichever u like better)
Dear Scratch Users,
I'm done with scratch, or at least making projects. I have made one last big game, thats both fun and teaches a lesson about water. It'd mean a lot if you gave me feedback. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/bosox397/569201

Re: If you need help ........... ask me!
uploading the avatars doesn't work. either: invalid filetype (scratch project) or too large. how do I save it the right way?

Re: If you need help ........... ask me!
if you right click on the avatar you want
then save picture as
save it where you can easily find it
then go onto upload
and it should work
if it was an animated one you will only get 1 costume
then you have to go to costumes
and click upload and upload the sprite again
and that should work
Hope this helps

again, I don't think it's possible to "save". do you mean saving progress so you can play from the same spot later? you might be able to have a checkpoint or something to let you go from a certain spot, but right now, i don't think Scratch has any sort of saving feature.

New random question:
How do I make and upload an animated avatar?
You can find an animation online and save it to upload, or if you want to make your own, it might be possible on programs like Photoshop. (my current icon has been changed on Photoshop. Remmber, save as a .GIF file.

but in the actual picture, it won't move. it helps if you open it in photoshop or something and save it as a .gif file.

you can actually probably open the costumes in photoshop, and by saving it as a .gif, you can animate it.
