Special Broadcasts
I found some special internal broadcasts when experimenting with some things on scratch connections. One is "Scratch-StartClicked", which simulates clicking the start button. Please tell me if you find any more. I think they all start with "Scratch-".

You could try broadcasting "Scratch-MouseClickEvent", which triggers the "When sprite is clicked" event hat...
2 things 
1. Shouldn't You Type The Name Of The Sprite Somewhere in-between besides just "Scratch-MouseClickEvent"?
2. Since You Know Alot About The Program How 'Bout You Make A opic That Lists All The Codes 
Could You? Please

I don't think that you can say a specific sprite, it will use the sprite that it is on. Also, Jens, can I edit the Scratch Source and add more? Also, is there one that acts like you pressed a key on the keyboard?

Re: Special Broadcasts
Hi Magnie and abair,
those two messages are the only "reserved" broadcast names I could find, which you can actually just type into a broadcast block. There is, of course, another internal message type for keyboard input, but that one needs an argument (the key) which you can't specify manually in a Scratch project.
