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.
another bad thing

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.

I think you'll find that's changed a lot recently - we've pushed several new revisions in the past month that've fixed many of the glitches.
If you want projects to be bug free in the flash player, then please help submit bug reports on any glitches you do find. Here's the thread:

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.

No, we're aware of that one.
Basically the embed code for 2.0 will be for flash (since, well, that's the only option.)
I think when we looked into it we thought using an iframe seems like the standard approach these days. Hopefully that'll be simple enough, but it's something we haven't sorted out yet.
Actually if you've got code that worked, maybe file a bug / feature request on the website tracker, and include it? That might give us a head start when we start working on it.

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...

the recent update is awesome! my project (which ran slower before that update) is now fast! And it's the default player, so I can easily share it with my friends.
Great move, Scratch Team!

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.

I don't think we will all become new scratchers again- I heard something about that somewhere on the forums and I think the answer was that the scratchers and new scratchers are stored in a seperate database so they won't reset- I can't say the same thing about post count though. Shame

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

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.

Another step towards 2.0!

I think that the default player should be the old flash player, while the new one being accessible through a link like the java player, until the scratch team works out most of the glitches in the new flash player.

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?

Woah, way to run the rumor mill there!
You won't be a New Scratcher -- your status will carry over, even if forum posts do not. Comments, also, will carry over.
