Editing the balloon
You know that balloon that displays "draggable on website?" I tried to change it, but I came across an error. I want to change the text to "Movable on website?" w/o the quotes. Thanks in advance!

Re: Editing the balloon
meew0 told me how to do this... I'll see if I can find his post...
Here it is:

I'm not sure if that's the way you were going about it already, but if not, meew's way is worth a try

But that ALWAYS comes up with an error whenever I do it! Maybe I'm not going to the right place.
Here's what I did:
1. S-click the R.
2. Middle click in the lock icon 3x or until lock is surrounded by halo.
3. Click the debug icon and inspect.
4. Go down to "balloontext" (or something like that, I can't exactly remember), and then change the value in-between the single quotes.
5. Accept it, to no avail.

Re: Editing the balloon
Ohhh... I think I know how to solve that 
1. Shift-click the R. Fill screen off.
2. Right click the light grey space that appears around the ScratchFrame
3. Select "open". Then "browser"
4. Scratch-UI-Panes > ScratchScriptEditorMorph > private > addLockButton
5. Find the "draggable on website" text, then change it.
6. Right click, select "accept"
7. Close the browser.
8. Open a new project.
9. Mouse over the padlock. It should come up with your text.

Ah, well... it's not as simple as changing the block categories though. 
Block categories are easy to change. xP
I'm uploading the project that explains that procedure in the near future... unless you know how to do it already.

Nope - I don't know how to do it already I'm intrigued!

Re: Editing the balloon
It's really simple, actually. I'll upload it in the near future; I've got it on my TeuxDeux list.
With awesome BG musak!
