I think that the problem adriangl noticed may be realted to one I noticed---once a script starts playing in 1.2 then editing it has no effect, even pulling the script apart doesn't keep the original, unedited script from running.  This is a step backwards from v 1.0, which responded quickly to any changes in the script.

Okay. Got ya!

Not copatibal online. Can you make compatible, or are you gonna do that in the full one. Since my fave part of scratch is sharing and not many users no of 1.2 yet, I'll stick to the old functions until A, loads of people begin using 1.2 or B you make it compatible online.

It dosent even work for me. Whenever I hit the green flag I get a pink window called "primitive error" and in it is a bunch of script and three buttons- Proceed- Abandon- Debug. What do I do?

Hi Axeblade,

Can you give us more information about the script that was under the green flag block?
And if it didn't have a script, can you reproduce this error and tell me more about how you got to the pink window?

Remember to save often so you don't lose your work!

Thanks so much!

I'm sure that when version 1.2 is officially released, that the Scratch team will also release a new Scratch.jar file to be able to run 1.2 projects on-line.  In fact, I'm a bit surprised that they haven't had the beta-test community helping them debug that also.
Perhaps it is a little behind schedule??

Hi, Axeblade.

I'm sorry you had trouble with Scratch 1.2 beta. Thanks for reporting the problem; it will help us make the real Scratch 1.2 release better.

If you just want to revert to Scratch 1.1 (the stable version), just download the regular installer and run it. That will revert to the old version.

Someone else reported getting "primitive failed" errors but only after they had looked a Scratch project on the website that had some music (note/drum commands). They found that if they closed all their browser windows then Scratch would not get the pink box error. We are looking into this problem, but it only seems to happen on some computers, not all, so it is hard to track down.

You could try, as a test, closing all your browsers before starting Squeak 1.2. If that works, it would be great if you'd post to let us know and please mention what type of computer, operating system, and which version of Java (if you know) you are running. (And if you've already reverted to Scratch 1.1, that's fine, too.)

Thank you!

Just go to the Scratch folder where BETA is installed, select everything, and delete it. Or delete the whole Scratch Beta folder.

JUST BE CAREFUL: If you saved and music/projects/sprites/costumes, be sure to move them out of the folder so they don't get deleted.

I don't know were the Scratch folder  is yet alone find were beta is installed

to andersmh or whom it may concern,


during my long use of scratch,i've wanted the use of these commands:



a command where you can cancel all of a sprites scripts without having to halt the entire game. For example, i have a sprite bg, that moves upon the green flag activating, i would to have all of its scripts to end when my character reaches a certain X & Y Point. a better example: upon green flag,my hero is positioned in middle of sprite Background, now above my hero is a trail into a forest ---

the problem is the command: Stop Script only applies to 1 script at a time, i would like a script where you can cancel all of a sprite's scripts in one command,  without having to stop the whole game, or having to apply STOP SCRIPT to every new "forever if-else" command

Kevin,

The latest player (v18) is supposed to support all the features of Scratch 1.2. Let me know if you run into any problems.

Note: Based on feedback from you and others, we've decided to change the meaning of tempo from "percent" to "beats per minute" and to make it global. The player reflects these changes and so will the final Scratch 1.2. However, the beta version is still using percent so if you use the tempo command right now you will see differences between Scratch 1.2 beta and the player.

Thanks for the suggestion. Could you post it on the Suggestion forum? This thread is about version 1.2 and bugs in it. No new features are going to be added to version 1.2. Your suggestion could be good for version 1.3 or later. Thanks.
