Suggestion : Loadings

Hey, i was thinking....
If we Scratchers can make our own Loading bar with moving things, like flash games?
It would be awesome and increase the patience of the scratcher when the project their trying to load.

But
To make it like that , there should be a system that asks them if they want to make their own or just the plain scratch loading bar

That would be neat, thanks for reading

Yeah, cool feature, but not essential or too useful.
Besides, it would mean that the program could not display an error properly and at the correct loading stage.

Re: Suggestion : Loadings

I like the idea, but it would most likely slow down the Scratch server. If its a loading bar in a video game, thats one thing because its not always an online game, but because this is the internet you may spend more time than you want to looking at the loading bar.

Re: Suggestion : Loadings

It seems like a bit of a waste to me. Honestly, even on large projects, you don't spend much time looking at the loading bar. With an increase in the size limit, this might be useful, but right now I think the default is fine.

Re: Suggestion : Loadings

How 'bout it auto-detects tags and makes them into a loading bar for example if someone had tagged "star wars" then lightsabers appear, if someone tagged "colours" then it goes colourful, if someone tagged "pokemon" some pokemon appear...
