Scratch

I'm a newbie with Scratch and had my first project uploaded.
Java player was really a disappointment as it was very slow (I'm using Firefox).
But Flash Player was really fast (I dare say faster than scratch itself).

I think it should be done default, asap.
:-)

it's fast and sometimes make a sprite glitched and i can do full screen it's awesome :3

i like it

<object width="483" height="387" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://scratch.mit.edu/static/misc/PlayerOnly.swf">
   <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
   <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
   <param name="flashvars" value="project=http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/username/projectid.sb?version=1">
</object>

I don't if it's the Flash version that does this, but my games don't work the same on the website as they do in my Scratch application. When it works in the app perfectly, there's some bugs in my games on the website. To see what I mean, try playing NINJAcademy or Astro-Isola.

Brilliant!!  When will we be able to export projects?  I want to get my students embedding them in web pages etc.

You won't be able to export projects because the flash player is just a player -- it reads and plays the .sb files.

You can embed the Flash player, but it needs a server. Here is the HTML code:

<object width="483" height="387" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://scratch.mit.edu/static/misc/PlayerOnly.swf">
   <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
   <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
   <param name="flashvars" value="project={project_directory}">
</object>

awsome. I really wanna be able to convert my stuff to swf!!!

This is soooo much better than Java! I can play ALL my games on my old computer perfectly now! Yay!

Flash won't work anymore. Why? This is very strange because it worked on these same projects, but won't work anymore. I need help.

It would not move! I wanted to watch an animation but it wouldn't work!  HOW COME!?

It's wicked!!!!
Why cant they make all websites using flash???

It's good, but sometimes when I scroll down to read the comments on the same page, and scroll back up again, the top of the flash player is missing, so I can't click on the green flag or anything. (This is in firefox. will edit once I've tested it in IE and chrome.) Also just a suggestion: is it possible for the numbers of bytes in the loading bar screen to be rounded up into kilobytes or megabytes? I know it's a bit nitpicky, but it just looks like a long list of nunbers which is a bit confusing and doesn't look very nice.
One more thing: is there any particular reason why the projects run faster in flash than in java? Is it just because the java player was outdated and doesn't run as fast as it could on modern machines, or because flash utilises the hardware more efficientely or something? Just curious.

You cant use arrow keys in flash player but in java player you can
