Pause/Play
Hi fellaz!!
You should be able to simply pause a project instead of having to stop it restart all over again.. 
I guess you could program a pause setting, but I think it would be easier for the programmers to just have a pause already built into the project, same with the viewers.

Re: Pause/Play
This would be really good for long animations, like Swifty2's for example. I love the idea!!

Re: Pause/Play
Yeah, this would be cool, and it can already be added as BYOB did it!

Re: Pause/Play
There is a pause feature in BYOB but there are no blocks to interact with it. Here are some suggestions for new blocks:
Pause all
Resume all
When everything else is paused (hat block)
<last pause was () seconds ago>
Do not pause this script (c block)
(time since last pause)

Not necessarily. For BYOB style pausing, it would only require a small amount, just enough to stop the stage/ScratchFrame stepping the scripts.

Since Scratch 2.0 is moving into Flash, it would probably be really easy to implement this in it (even a beginner like me can pause flash animations)
yeah.

Re: Pause/Play
How would this be implemented?
Programming is an art...
Goodbye, Scratch. I am leaving because of the exams coming up at our school, though I'll check the forums once or twice a week.

If the project is paused then how would a block resume it?
The button would be up with the green flag and the stop button. It would be the Play/pause button.
So there's no pause/play block? Eh, this is more of a suggestion for the flash player more than Scratch.
