Draggable on Website?

I was messing around with Scratch the other day and I discovered this:

On a sprite (not the stage), in the bit above the scripts where it has a picture of the sprite and its name, there is a small padlock icon.

http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/3950/padlockicon.png

When you mouse over it, it says "Make Draggable on Website?"

First of all, what does this mean?

And second of all, "draggable" isn't technically a word...

Click it, then go into presentation mode. It basically lets you move the sprite around online/in presentation mode  smile

Ah... I see...

Thanks!  smile

Well that still doesn't solve the problem that "draggable" isn't a real word...

Let say that the Scratch team is creative with English...
Actually, this "word" is quite common in computing jargon, like "to google", "runnable" and similar.
I suppose they could have written "Allow to drag this sprite on the Web site?" but it is more verbose...

Well yes, but I really grammar and spelling...  sad 

I love your use of the word "verbose" by the way!  big_smile

Re: Draggable on Website?

Yup. That means you CAN drag it out on the website.

Re: Draggable on Website?

Right:

Shift-click the R in the Scratch Logo
Alt-click the padlock 3 times (some icons should appear)
Click the red icon with a square in it
Select change label...

Unfortunately, that's when it brings up an error for me... I'd test it on my brother's PC, but he changed his password... But I think that's how you change it...  hmm

Hmm... Yes... It came up with a bunch of coding that I could edit... But I didn't change it in case I messed everything up...

It's fun using the other options to move it around and stuff though!  big_smile

Re: Draggable on Website?

Could you screenshot the coding? I'm interested in seeing if the same thing happened on both computers...  smile

Re: Draggable on Website?

Problem solved, then! You didn't like it in the first place...  tongue

Nah, just close Scratch (without saving it), and open up a new window  smile

Error message...  hmm

Does anything happen when you click "proceed"?

Re: Draggable on Website?

Hmmm... must be Scratch itself then... I thought that might have been my PC (my PC gives a similar message when I try to save an image for end-user... I wondered if it was connected)

Well, I'm stumped as to what to do to get rid of it at the moment... Sorry  sad

No... It's okay... I don't mind...  smile

But the Scratch Team MUST PAY!
