Case sensitive glitch

The flash player can't tell apart capital letters and lower case letters.

Re: Case sensitive glitch

i dont think its a glitch so much as it is an unimplemented feature
in fact, i dont think any player, whether it be java, flash, or 1.4, has a case sensitive "=" block

Re: Case sensitive glitch

There is one way that works even in Flash, but it's pretty goofy. What you have to do is make a sprite with costumes named "a", "A", "b", "B", "c", "C"... and so on. Then you set the costume to the letter you want to check, and see what costume number that comes out to.

Re: Case sensitive glitch

Also, I think that Flash doesn't use case sensing to determine if an array (that's what they're called on Objective-C) contains a certain item.

New topic: On the Flash Player, the <|list v| contains []> block is case-insensitive. Have you been able to resolve it? Tell me when you have. What did you find out?

That sounds like a pretty ramshackle way to do things, but ok. Thanks.

I wasn't using the = block, i was using () contains (), which worked properly in the program but not online.

I did also experience this behaviour. See my post in "Report bugs in the Flash-Based Scratch Player beta here!" on 2011-10-30.
