As seen in this project: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/falloutgeek/2271714, the Flash player is not playing it right. If you switch to Java mode, the game works perfectly. I want someone to tell me if I did something wrong with my code, or it is a bug with the Flash Player. Thanks.

it's just faster
put wait 0 seconds or something between

And sound is appalling. My beatX music creator is OK in Java but awful in flash, even with compressin unticked.

Note: Limited instrument and drum library
Unlike Scratch 1.4 and the Java-based player, Flash does not have a MIDI synthesizer available. Thus, for the Flash-based player, we had to create our own synthesizer and instrument/drum library. Currently, we have 15 instruments and 12 drums as opposed to the General MIDI collection of 128 instruments and 35-ish drums. Every instrument should do something in the Flash-based player, but when an instrument is missing (e.g. bassoon), then you get a similar instrument or the default instrument (piano) instead. Similarly, for missing drums. Also, many of the instruments in our home-built library do not sound as nice as the ones in the commercial libraries available to Scratch 1.4 and the Java-based player. At some point we'll extend and improve the instrument library, although to minimize download time, it may always be a subset of full General MIDI library.
