Problem: 1 okay first glitch i notice is that ghosted sprites stamp their ghostedness onto the stage instead of the regular costume. in nearly all my projects i relied on the fact that ghosted sprites stamp normal prints. this means a lot of my old projects have gone to utter worthless trash link

2 next it seems like the script timing is different. in the game in my sig, the map renders, then "npc" characters are supposed to be stamped on top of the map, but the timing is off so the "npc" characters don't show up online. They show up when downloaded however, and it worked in the old flash player. link

3 slider variables don't display correctly link

4 turbo mode doesn't work like it used to. now my raycaster is broken link

all i ask for is that you dont totally trash all my old projects. i worked really hard on them, and I dont want them to be rendered unplayable by the flash update. also I dont think it shpould be my choice to update all my old projects to work again. if it worked before, it should work now. any ruining of projects is totally inexcusable. so unfortunately, as of right now, i hate this new player. its a shame 'cause it looks nice, and i would like the ghost-stamping, its just that you've ruined a lot of my best projects, all of which have many hundreds of hours of time investment.

Description of Problem: CPU paddle tilts a few degrees counterclockwise within two minutes of play

EDIT: Just to clarify, the CPU paddle has no scripts to tilt.

P.S. I'm not getting TRocket's fullscreen button glitch.

It is super slow!!!!
Your computer's Operating System: mac os x
Your web browser's name and version: safari 5.1.7
Flash version: 11.4
use turbo, slower than offline turbo

[Edit by Johnm: Thanks for the report. For many projects (e.g. the 3D computer desk, Canthiar's ray tracer), the Flash player in turbo mode is much faster than either Scratch 1.4 or the Java player. But, you're right, for this project the Flash player in turbo mode is not as fast as Scratch 1.4 in turbo mode, although it's still quite fast. For what I can tell, the change color effect block is what makes it slower. If you take that out, it really zips (but, of course, isn't nearly as pretty). It's useful to know which operations are slower.]

Your web browser's name and version: Safari 6
Flash version: 11 (latest)
Description of Problem: Slow loading, it takes quite a while for the loading screen to even come up. Much more so than the old flash player or the java player.
Link to project: This applies to all projects, not just a specific one.

I guess it's not exactly a bug, but it's still a problem.

My suggestion is to download and use Google Chrome.

Although, I have this problem too, since they switched to the 2.0 player.

On this project, the wait block is broken. After the first space bar press it doesn't wait for it again.

I'm using a Windows Internet Explorer 9.
My Flash Player version is
11.4.402.265.
On my project EPNinjaObjective I experienced a glitch where I had a stamping sprite that would stamp on my scrolling background, it worked in the old version of the Flash Player, but now the stamping won't show.
My other projects that use stamping still work, but in this particular one the sprite is hidden, so I think the problem is that hidden sprites can't stamp anymore.

Project: EPNinjaObjective

Description this script wont work...

What do you expect this part to do?

broadcast [end v]
stop all

Before the broadcast has a chance to activate it will stop all scripts.

That'll never work.

Perhaps you'd have better luck with:

broadcast [end v] and wait
stop all

or

broadcast [end v]
stop script

BUG REPORT
Hello, i did not read all posts, so maybe someone already reported this bugs i noticed.
First, some projects work a bit slower. Also some games with scrolling don´t work like they have to. If the location is made of 2 big sprites they appear very fast on the left side and then again on the right side, but they have just to stay on the other side.
The old player hadn´t these bugs, but maybe bases the flickering bug on the slowness bug.
on this project you see it flickering: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/TM_/2239718
Another problem: One of my fans noticed a bug 10 minutes ago, a whole project isn´t working. In my game you can shoot a laser with a mouseclick. With the old player it worked without problems, but now it doesn´t work.
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/TM_/2489524 (it works with java, so you can see how it have to look and how it looks with the new player)

I hope you understood what i´m talking about and are able to fix this bugs.

Guys, the reason it takes longer for the loading bar to appear is because the player itself has to load before it can begin to load the project.

The size of the old player was 430.7 KB
But the size of the new player is 1.9 MB

It is going to take longer for the new player to load, just try to be patient.  Maybe the Scratch Team can make a more efficient revision, with respect to it's file size?

[Edit by Johnm: Good observation. The new player is larger because it includes a musical instrument library (about 1.5 MB). It will be slower to load the player the first time. However, after that, the player should be in the browser cache, and thus will load much faster. Let us know if it's slow to load the player every time.]

On http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/UltraJordan/2530095 the project is really slow, on the old one it was fast.

Browser:firefox

[Edit by Johnm: I've fixed a performance issue. Could you try it again?]
