Re: Report glitches in the Flash project player here!

Well... I made a usual recent art pic.(made my own music as well with scratch) and apparently--the music would not play. I dunno what's wrong.

Re: Report glitches in the Flash project player here!

Project: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/randomgamemaker/2821077
My OS: Mac 10.6.8
My browser: Chrome
Project only works in flash. Please read project notes.

There is a problem with rendering in this project.
It actually works perfectly in full screen, but not at normal size. The renderer is supposed to draw a 16*16*16 3d block area, one block at a time. It reads which costume to switch to from a list, then stamps that block and moves on to the next one. Turn off turbo to see this process.

Instead, what happens if you are not in full screen is it switches to the costume at the beginning of each 16 block vertical line, then draws the same costume for the rest of the line. It only does this for a few layers before working properly.

If you redraw the same thing in full screen without generating a new terrain, it works. The project works perfectly in Scratch turbo (although slow), but it is too slow to run in Java. Other weird things happen too, but I can't tell what it is doing, and it all goes away in full screen mode. I also have a similar project (http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/randomgamemaker/2819481) with almost the exact same rendering script, but the rendering works (even though the project doesn't).
Please try to figure out what is wrong! If it happens to my project, it will probably happen to someone else's.

Re: Report glitches in the Flash project player here!

@Rsrilaya That's an error in your coding. Try coding it to do the same thing but in a different way.  smile

@baxter_03 You need to install the Adobe Flash Player on your computer in order to be able to use the flash player. You can download it here: http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer

Not necessarily.  If it was working in Scratch 1.4, then it's supposed to work in Flash too (with a few exceptions that were intentional behavior changes - like stamping with a ghosted sprite).

Do you have Flash installed in your browser?  What does the error say?

java does work though so it's not a problem with just me.

Thanks for reporting! If there is no version number after the "You have version" text, it probably means you don't have flash installed, or there's something wrong with your installation of flash. (Probably you can't view YouTube videos either?)

Try following the instructions here to re-install flash.

Re: Report glitches in the Flash project player here!

Some times I pull up a project and it doesn't do anything. It makes it where you have to download. It's just a white project when It's pulled up in flash.

I am using chrome.

Re: Report glitches in the Flash project player here!

http://www.scratch.mit.edu/projects/macuser47/2842788

some projects don't work at all, like this one, and all flash projects say I need to install flash, even though I have it, but the notice disappears after a few seconds and the program loads, except for about 50% of them (including this one) that just display a blank screen.

I am using Internet Explorer 8 or 7 (not sure which)

Its because if layering; if another sprite is between it and the mouse pointer, it reports false.  smile

Found a glitch in Scratch's Flash player?

Please report it here!
We need your help making sure the flash player works well, since soon we'll be moving to Scratch 2.0.

Please be sure and include:

1. A link to the project showing the problem (or the name of the project if you don't know how to make a link)

2. Any directions we will need to see the problem.  Example:  Jump off the top platform and the guy freezes...

3. Which browser you are using.  Example:  Chrome, IE9, FireFox

Thanks for your help  smile


Some things that we already know about that we aren't planning on fixing:

Stamping with a Ghosted Sprite
The way ghosted stamps has changed - please see Sparks project here for more details and a work-around if this broke your project.

Play Note and Play Drum sounds
All the instruments in the Play Note and Play Drum had to be replaced and will sound somewhat different.  The instrument numbers should map back to a sound that is pretty similar - but there will be differences.

Anti-aliasing
Sharp edges on artwork will be blended by dithering the pixels to slightly different shades.  Some people like this look - others not so much.  It's an artistic design choice.

Also be aware that the Flash player scales when you zoom in and out in your browser, which can distort the graphics slightly. If the text is hard to read or the graphics look strange, make sure that your browser is set to view the page at actual size.

Timing issues
The Flash player is a completely different set of code than Scratch 1.4.  So some operations are going to run faster and some might run slower.  This can result in changes to the timing of a Scratch project.  There's not a lot we can do about that - you might have to make some scripting changes to get the same timing.

Some things that we know about that we are planing on fixing but haven't fixed yet:

Hidden Sprites sensing the Mouse
Currently, the <touching mouse pointer> block is not sensing when the sprite is hidden.  This has been added to the bug list to be fixed.

Draggable Sprites also being affected by Movement blocks
We've found a couple of cases where a sprite has been unlocked to make it draggable - but there are also movement blocks active while it is being dragged.  The result is some weird movement behavior.  This has been added to the bug list to be fixed.

you should fix the timing it makes my lip-syncs look bad

Re: Report glitches in the Flash project player here!

My game is disc golf, found here: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/AlexJ84/2846026, and works locally to me in scratch 1.4, on win 7, and once re-downloaded from the gallery works again for a friend in another state on a different computer. However, when playing the online version, in Opera, FF, or Chrome, it immediately defaults to every first throw is overshot by the throw distance.

I can replicate this bug every time online, but it works perfectly, (again, everytime) for both the original and a redownloaded version on a different computer in Scratch.
