Reporters into "when I receive"

How would this help you? I cant really think of any situations where that would make sense or be needed.

It's really easy. I'll create a .patch for you.
Nevermind, I gotta go real soon, sorry.

Why not? What works differently in the engine of the flash player compared to Scratch 1.4 that changes the behaviour?

Cutting down on scripts thus speeding up the project.

That's what I was trying to say, but then I couldn't think of a way to put it so I just put my first answer

The messages are static strings. They are not evaluated when a message is broadcasted. If you did manage to get a block into the hat block... You would probably be trying to wait until the reported BLOCK is broadcasted, not its evaluated value.

Re: Reporters into "when I receive"
Do you know how to make the block with a boolean input?
EDIT: 2100 posts. I'm overcommitted to Scratch.
