Maybe all blocks created for the stage are global?

Noooo, don't encourage him!  That was the kludge they used in Scratch, but the stage is an object just as a sprite is, and sprites don't inherit from the stage.  When we get an object system going, there will be a prototype Sprite that toplevel sprites inherit from, and that's where global blocks will go.

Pictures for page 42 onwards.

42-2 and 42-4 can't be done because apparently I can't make a script pic of a ring (Jens...). The <[] is a []> block has a text (rather than dropdown) input because that block doesn't exist and I can't make custom dropdowns.

Thanks!  You're awesome.

You're welcome. What do I do about "ring" images?

Sorry, I was leaving this one for Jens.

I can save projects.  Is there something in your projects that we're likely not to have serialized yet?  I thought it might be rings but I can save those.

It might be the upvars? That's the only thing I can think of that all my projects had in common...

reminder to all screenshoters: you can easily take a screen shot using shift+rightclick then 'save image as' in firefox (not tested in other browsers)

one thing that's really annoying in C-slots inside custom blocks: you can drop reporters in there - if it miss the right place the script pops out. it really annoys once you have large scripts. could you maybe disable it?

Jens, maybe you could set the document.title to something a bit nicer than the DataURI, so that if you open up 3 or 4, you can tell them apart. Even something as simple as Script1, Script2, etc. would help out a lot. Thanks!

It's an image fie though, not an HTML. The browser automatically uses the URL as the title.
Hey, you can use document.title to change the title? Cool!

Unfortunately, the window is not a html page, it's a data url. It does not behave in the same way and I don't think you can set the title.

did you mean to have the lamda sign on c-slots? because on page 15 it says it should be '['

That was Jens's idea.  He thinks it'll teach the idea better if every input type that's really a procedure, even the unevaluated-type slots, shows a lambda hint in the prototype.  I haven't updated the manual to reflect this yet.

The script image urls are REALLY long. They actually exceed the scratch forum 64kb size limit! Could you maybe write a PHP page to generate the images? Then the url will be shorter, and I could post the images on the forums.

That's what i said...
For the second line, i was referring to a regular HTML/JS page.

Oops! didn't read your post correctly

Well, as far as I'm concerned, just the window title is good enough, because I rename the images anyway.

You shouldn't use window.title "just like that", you should only use it for specially generated windows. Content windows like a normal blog shouldn't change their title during runtime as it can confuse search engines. Imagine a page titled "blogp1" in Google!    Anyway, it is in some cases even a form of SEO because someone can title a window "Our Solar System" in the HTML, then rename it to "Cheap Deals on Airline Tickets" in the JS.
