Scratch

dont work for me

Hi Natalie,

I just tried it at school however it failed as I am behind an authenticated proxy.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Kate

try using html code to upload it! .to get html code click embed on the project , click copy and paste it into a html box on the website. hope that works

Its actually really easy.
1upload project
2click embed on the side
3copy the "as an applet code"
5paste it onto the website!
as easy as that

Step 1 is the part I can't do. I can't upload the project from inside the school. I open a project I have made, click Share - Share this Project Online (I'm using Scratch 1.4) and it asks me for my username and password and the details of the project.

I fill in all the details and click Share.

It sits on Uploading... Connecting to scratch.mit.edu for a while. Then comes up with Failed: Address not found.

Any ideas?

Is the internet connection a good quality ?
Have you any viruses on your school computer ?
If your memory on your computer it might stop it from uploading !
And is your project below 10MB (thats the max for projects  ) ?

Hi smallkat - Many schools use what's called a proxy server when they set up their network.  This can mess up the Scratch Share function.  I think you will need to get your school's network people involved before you are going to be able to get Share to work.

If this is the case just save a file to a saved e mail and then upload it at home!

Hi guys,

I know it's a proxy issue. I'm behind an authenicated proxy so when I press share it asks for my scratch username and password but not my school internet username and password which means the students can't upload their work.

The students don't have scratch installed at home (and not all will install it) so I want everyone to upload projects from behind the authenicated proxy server. Is still possible?

Can there be a way of logging into the website and uploading the project from there so I can just get around this issue completely?

Thanks.

if you could disable the proxy server for your classroom for a limited time or is you saved the projects onto your memory stick or save them in a email well then they wouldnt have to upload them ! you could upload them from your computer at home !

Thanks for the ideas Dav09 but we can't disable the proxy server and me uploading the projects for the students defeats many of the aims I'm trying to achieve - i.e. they won't get the comments on their site, they will appear on mine and while the students can read them this is not the ideal situation. I really want the students to upload their own projects during class time.

Can someone from the scratch team let me know if there's any work being done to fix the proxy issue or if there can be a function added to the website to add projects online when you're logged in - thus avoiding the proxy issue.

Thanks.

how about disableing the proxy server just for a limited time whiles the projects are been uploaded and then turn it back on when its finished the upload ! im not sure will this help but i think the reason this is happening is because the scratch servers are interacting with the proxy server and the scratch server crashes
