Glitch online
My game BLACK OR WHITE(credit to m44 and MJ) has a major glitch online where you keep dying for no apparent reason(luckily it works fine when downloaded).In the game you can only die if you touch black and your costume is the alternative color(white) but you disappear(die) and go to the checkpoint. just try it out yourself http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/RyanBenLee/1019807 .My other games also have this glitch....Pls fix this!!!!!!

Re: Glitch online
This isn't something that can be easily fixed. The online player runs on Java, while the Scratch Program runs on Squeak VM. Thus, there can be some glitches - and it's not easily preventable. Just tell users to download the project

Re: Glitch online
There are a number of things that don't work online that do work offline. They use different interpreters - for instance, when you're online, the "When Sprite Clicked" block is activated when the mouse is down, when you're offline, it's activated when the mouse is down, then up. Also, timing doesn't work too properly.
For further information, see Paddle2See's great topic on why some projects don't work online: http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=15657
