Variable Problems
I am currently developing a rather complicated project at the moment called BASIS, which you can check out here. It involves a lot of variables or metadata that needs to be conserved, but I'm not sure variables do the job right.
My problem is that I don't know if variables are reset at any point and if so when they are reset! I need to know if variables are permanent, as in they stay the same until something modifies them, or if they are reset, as in they are reset to 0 whenever the green flag is pressed. Please help!

Re: Variable Problems
Variables keep their value even after the green flag is pressed. They are only reset to their original values when the page your game is on is refreshed.
When Scratch 2.0 is released there is a type of variable that is remembered even after you leave a game and later come back. They are called "cloud" variables and they are stored on the Scratch servers.

Thanks for that. This will really help. However, I don't see the advantage of storing variables on the internet.
