I uploaded a gif, with 755 frames, I ran the gif on the scratch editor and it looked weird, I realised that a lot of frames were switched and out of order, I tried again, still was out of order, when I changed the name to a shorter name it still wasn't in order, I went on the actual gif and outside of scratch the frames were perfectly in order, if you know why this is happening please tell me

program::#00ff00

This is caused by a known issue with GIF importing that causes the frames to be out of order. In my experience, you can work around this by importing the GIF as a new sprite, rather than importing it into an existing sprite. More info can be found here.

Alternatively, you can use this:

When you import a gif (e.g funny-gif), all the frames come out as funny-gif, then funny-gif2, then funny-gif3 etc. Even if they are out of order, you can play the sequence in order by requesting the exact costume name rather than using “next costume”, like this:

switch costume to [funny-gif v]
set [frame v] to [1]
repeat (length of gif:: #969696) 
wait (0) secs
change [frame v] by (1)
switch costume to (join [funny-gif] (frame)) 
end

Now the gif should be playing with every frame in the correct part of the sequence.
