Re: Made project on v.1.4 cant play on v.1.2 SCHOOL PROJECT

If you meen not working in the Scratch program.

I would suggest asking a teacher/Ict technician to try downloading Scratch 1.4 as an alternative  smile

It would also allow you to make better projects in school as you have all the new features  smile

If you meen not working on the website,

Then it would probably be you need the new version a
of Java installed  smile

No problem. To convert..
SHOOT, it seems it's not working.  sad  If you can try to remake it http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Scratch_Previous_Versions <- Look at the bottom of the page and you should see a download for 1.2.1 , see if you can remake it with 1.2.1  smile

Actually they could play theres  smile

Scratch 1.4 can play projects made in 1.2 just like 1.3 could etc:

Basically Scratch 1.4 can play 1.2 but 1.2 can't play 1.4  smile

Re: Made project on v.1.4 cant play on v.1.2 SCHOOL PROJECT

That would probably be why you see  smile

1.4 knows 1.2 exists but 1.2 doesn't even know what 1.4 is. So if you try and move something from the future version to the past version it probably won't work  smile

But like I said. Something made in 1.2 should be able to move to 1.4 with no alterations  smile

Did you put anything that wasn't in Scratch 1.2 that is in 1.4?:
These don't work on 1.2:
Lists,
Ask/Answer,
Join/Letter of /Length of,
and Motor Blocks.
If you used ANY of those it wouldn't work!

The reason why your 1.4 project won't work on Scratch 1.2 is because it can't read 1.4 projects.

Same with 1.3 and older, but 1.2 was perfectly capable of opening in 1.1 and 1.0. The issue: Some character encoding for right-to-left languages (for 1.3 at least, maybe they just didn't see a use in making 1.4 backwards-compatible)

See, that's why it's so wierd! 1.2 could work on 1.1 or 1.0 but 1.4 can't work correctly on 1.3 if you used the new features but it wouldn't work at all on 1.2? That's REALLY wierd!

It is backwards-compatible because v1.4 projects can play on v1.3 but if you used new features it would still work on v1.3 but the new features would be marked as obselete.

That post was completely irrelevant to the topic. It is not asking about backward compatibility but instead on how to make a project which has a nearing deadline.  hmm

So shouldn't it be a necropost? I guess we should just leave it up to the ST.

Re: Made project on v.1.4 cant play on v.1.2 SCHOOL PROJECT

Since it's been a few years since the thread was started, we can safely assume that the OP's deadline for their project has long since past! I'm going to closed this thread as resolved since any further posts on the topic aren't really needed.
