Scratch

Download and import, like sprites or costumes? I think Mathwizz made one once, I'll see if I can still find it. I was using it to create a project that could install and update itself from the internet.

Right: Mathwizz has a "add costume from online image[] " block as block 54 in the files section of the Panther blocks.

EDIT: It also works for sounds. I can't find the sprite importer, though, I'm afraid

The "When %w is true" block doesn't work, even with the improved code.
Reason?  No "OffscreenWorldMorph->processWhenConditions"
Absolutely nothing like it there.

i tried that block before... it worked for me

Are you using source code or normal program?

Where do you put the code for control blocks????? I'm trying to make the close scratch block but I cant find anything related to control on  the instance side. Someone please reply!

You put control blocks in the Other Ops.

Why is the code for "make _ draggable" set the value isDraggable to false and not true?

Thanks for the help! I don't know the answer to your question...

I mean download and import a project.

Is there a way to check which key of a (USB) MIDI piano is pressed ?

Use the link on the first post to get the images back.
They should replace the images with the new forum blocks though...it would probably run much faster!

I would say replacing the blocks we have with the new type is a good idea, except that as far as I know, it doesn't let you write your own block names, only deals with existing ones.

broadcast clicked

It allows that kind of block...

Not sure if I've shared this one already, but:

('%S is playing?' #b #IsPlaying:)

IsPlaying: t1 
| t2 |
    t2 _ self soundNamed: t1 ifAbsent: [^ self].
    ^ t2 isPlaying

Also: (I know this one hasn't been shared)

('when %S stopped play %S' #- #After:Play:)

After: t1 Play: t2
| t3 |
t3 _ self soundNamed: t1 ifAbsent: [^ self].
[t3 isPlaying] whileTrue.
self playSound: t2

Oh goodness, I hate sounding new at things, but the fact of the matter is that I am, in fact, new. How in the world do I install custom blocks into my project? I know how to shift click the "R"  but that's about all I know and the references are beyond my comprehension. Please help? Thanks.

OK, what's the extent of what you know?  Do you know how to...

1.  ...open the browser?
2.  ...navigate the browser?
3.  ...save changes in the browser?
4.  ...save the image file?

It's okay, I jogged my memory and figured everything out. I probably should have done that before asking for help, lol. Thank you (:

** EDIT: When I uploaded the project to test out the new code, it did not work.
I installed codes for new buttons. Shift, control, etc. I implemented the control key in my project and it works when pressed to execute commands offline, but not online, could this be because I didn't "save the image file", like you mentioned above? Please help lol

*** I'm getting an error message that says scratch cannot locate SqueakV2.sources or Scratch.changes. Are those files downloaded seperately from the scratch installation?

1.  Modified projects won't work online (with a few exceptions, such as the stretch blocks in the Java player and cloning in the Flash Player).

2.  That error is caused if you don't save the image file.  Go in, save it, and it should work.

You can download those files with the Scratch Source code here. The 'Scratch.changes' file stores changes to the image; with it, you can track changes and, instead of using the decompiled methods, you can see the original source (this allows you to see the original indentation and temporary variable names). The 'SqueakV2.sources' file stores Squeak's method sources.

...Or they could just "save image for end user".
