Just a reminder to people who host projects on their own web sites, If you use it, be sure to grab a copy of the Java player before it goes away for good.

I host some games on my own site and I just grabbed a copy as the one I'm using is a little old.

Ah! Thanks for mentioning this.
We should be able to leave the java player files in their static directory even after the transition, so that projects embedded on sites other than Scratch before now will stay up.
But it's one more thing to keep track of in a very long list.   

OK, Lightnin, you're going to hate me for bringing up this issue so late, but...

When you visit a project page, when you click on the "embed" link, (down on the lower right side of the screen) the code presented to the user is for the Java player.

This needs to be updated to support the Flash player.

And, that's not going to be easy.  I was able to get it working on my own web site and it required LOTS of code.  Not something that could be easily copy-and-paste from that little box onto a web page.

Heh.  I never did get the "full screen" button to work in IE.  So, I think you guys are the experts here.

EDIT:

Also, I'm not sure you can go full screen from inside of an iframe...

You'd probably have to enlarge the iframe or something, but I'm sure it's possible.
Maybe adding a script along with the iframe in the embed code.


***
Have you added support for AZERTY keyboards, which have 0-9 numbers in the top half of the keys? (i.e. SHIFT+& makes 1, SHIFT+é makes 2)...
In the first version of the flash player it was impossible to make projects sense numbers with the key pressed boolean block. I haven't yet tried in this one.

Not the TGBs! 

And even worse, all our posts will deleted on the new site, so we will all be new scratchers again

Our post's probably won't be deleted, but archived. The Scratch team is starting a completely new forums I think.

No we won't

Even if they restart the forums a member of the ST who I can't remember said they won't reset everyone's rank

Someone told me that posts will transfer.

Who told you that?

I forget, but I think it was someone who would know.

Also, about ranks: the Scratcher status has nothing to do with forum posts. It involves projects, comments, and other stuff on site, so that shouldn't be a problem.

You didn't prove anything, so why should I ?

When you get older and more mature you'll understand that I did, in fact, prove my point with hard data to backup my statement.

Until then, just know that if you continue to post baseless claims without data to backup your position, you're just spamming the boards.

well,I don't consider what I am saying spam.

Does this mean that in Scratch 2.0 the MIDI section will be as good as it is in the Java Player? It is a while I hadn't checked MIDI projects, but a few months ago the quality of the "play note" blocks was really poor. Has (or will) that problem been solved?
