Tech Treks Brings You.... 
Scratch!
Introduction to Scratch Download the program (well, we'll do that for you if you need an authorization code...) and move the icon to your dock so that it's easy to start up the program when you need it. Learn about the program by watching a video that will introduce you to the world of Scratch. Play with the program a bit and then check out some more movies such as the special effects video. Click here to view a set of direction cards that will teach you how to change color, add a beat, insert key moves, follow the mouse, animate figures, create a whirl, say something, glide, dance, keep score, and more. You can also read this Scratch Reference Guide to help you to learn more about the program. Posting Your Scratch Project on Your Website When you're done with your Scratch project, you may insert it in a Dreamweaver page by following these steps: 1. Download the following files to a folder on your computer: (for soundbank.gm, if you're using Firefox, right-click and select "Save Link As..." to download) 2. After copying these to a folder on your computer, put the .sb file in the same folder. Then, create a .html file in that same folder with the following contents: Code: <html>
<body>
<applet id="ProjectApplet" style="display:block" code="ScratchApplet" codebase="./" archive="ScratchApplet.jar" height="387" width="482">
<param name="project" value="testproject.sb">
</applet>
</body>
</html> 3. Replace testproject.sb with the name of the project you want to view. This will allow you to either view scratch projects offline (in a folder) or online (on a webserver). 4. You can view an example of this in action here:
