Can these custom blocks be uploaded in projects?
Also, can you show me how to create the (sprite name) block?

(sprite name) block:
Add this to Scratch-Objects > ScratchSpriteMorph (click 'class' at this point) > BlockSpecs > BlockSpecs:

Code:

 ('sprite name' #r #spriteName)

Click 'instance' then sensing ops > hideQuestion.
Replace hideQuestion with spriteName and self with objName.
Right-click and click 'accept'.

also, there is ('sprite name' #r #objName)

Put this in a custom block spec with a color picker in it. You'll see it works, but when you use it in full screen (but not in normal) and click it makes nasty grey squares come up on the stage. Can anybody fix it?

Yes, the presenter detects damage done and limits redrawing to that area, the cursor may be messing that up; I also find that temporary cursors are deleted when clicking a ScratchPresenterMorph.

what is this supposed to do
______________________________
type in [color=(put name lof color here(example: blue red green gold lime orange brown))]type text here[/color] and you'll have your color writing!

Anyone know if it's possible to convert a project made with a mod of Scratch into a .exe and have the mod's extra blocks work? (and if so, how?) I haven't tried, but I assume Jens' Scratch2Exe doesn't work on projects made with mods?

How can you do the opposite of (ascii for []) i.e. (from ascii [])?

OK, fine, here is the entire tutorial:
[replace (something) with your category name throughout this entire tutorial]
1. Add (something).gif, (something)Over.gif, and (something)Pressed.gif to the ScratchSkin folder IN THE ROOT DIRECTORY (wherever the VM is).
2. In the VM, open a new workspace (World menu -> open... -> workspace) and type

ScratchFrameMorph readSkinFrom: (FileDirectory default directoryNamed: 'ScratchSkin')

(if this doesn't work your ScratchSkin directory isn't in the right place or isn't named ScratchSkin)
3. Go to ScratchViewerMorph's rebuildCategorySelectors method and add (something) to the end of the small array definition (which looks like this:)

catList _ #(
        motion        control
        looks                sensing
        sound        operators
        pen            variables
        (something)).

Note: In order for the extent (size) of the category buttons to be correctly calculated, I have slightly modified the line that assigns to catButtonsExtent (the ugly arithmetic-looking one):

catButtonsExtent _ ((2 * maxExtent x) + (3 * pad)) @ ((((catList size / 2) rounded) * (maxExtent y + 6)) + 25).

How do i add a gif to it there is no option anywhere in that folder for that

I found it works if you give the stage this script:

when stage clicked
set pointer color to [ ].

How would you code this into the method?
