Google Sites somehow is able to force the browser to download the file. They do that when you add ?d=1 at the end of an attachment URL. Without it, if it's an image or other browser-readable attachment, it doesn't download. Anyone know how to do that?

They do it using the same/a similar method to the one I documented above.

When I try to Compile my project BYOB gives me:
Compiler error code: 1
Any ideas of how to solve this?

There will be costumes and "effects" at some point, though, right?

Boy, give 'em and inch and they take a mile! 

Wow! Awesome! I can't play with it right now though.
Jens, a technical question for you that's only somewhat related to Snap!... You don't use native browser input areas, right? By default, the backspace button goes to the previous page. How did you workaround that? Thanks!

BTW, is ALERT the primitive SAY?

Hi scimonster,

well, we certainly are using the browser natively, but you're right that my interpretation of Morphic doesn't use any DOM elements inside a Morphic world. You can prevent default behavior for any browser event by calling its

   event.preventDefault();

method in the function that reacts to it, e.g. when setting up an event listener.

The actual code that prevents the backspace key from going to the previous page was supplied by the awesome fullmoon:

   // supress Chrome backspace override
   if (event.keyIdentifier === 'U+0008' || event.keyIdentifier === 'Backspace') {
      event.preventDefault();
   }

The current ALERT primitive is only for debugging and will be taken out again.

Hey, here are a couple of little things you could add to really spruce things up—
1. On the window onbeforeonload event, mention if you have unsaved changes
2. Set the window title to "Snap! | myproject"
3. New projects should be named "untitled" not "unnamed" (nitpicky!)
4. Deleting sprites?
5. All the BYOB sprite OOP blocks are now sincerely awaited: ([] of []), (object []), etc. 
What does developer mode indicate?

BYOB 3.1 question: What is the synchronous property?

Thanks for these suggestions!

you can delete a sprite by picking it up from the stage and dropping it onto the palette (just like a block and just like in Scratch). Soon there will be (better) context menu entries for this.

Ah. Sorta unintuitive, but it works. 
EDIT: If you delete the only sprite, things go whacky.

Yeah, that happens too, but more urgently the sprite corral goes whacky; turns into a black rectangle, and the stage corral image is transported to the top-left corner.

nXIII, did you remove your development version of Snap? I wanted to show someone the import feature. 

Oh, and you haven't implemented [Launch {}] and (Call () with input list [-])

at least addition should work:

This works for me.  If you can reproduce the problem, please be more specific about browser, OS, and sequence of events.  Tnx.

and you haven't implemented

C'mon, there are hundreds of things not yet implemented, you don't have to remind us about them.  One thing at a time.
