Back on topic with teh array on a website thing,  I tried embedding my projects on my Freewebs, even though it was one with LISTS AND FILES and I got it.......mostly working. And by that, I mean I can see it on the site, but the actual project will not run for me. Still working out the coding there......

Please do not try to upload or embed projects made with my Lists and Files Prototpye to the website, because they are not compatible with Scratch! I have built some precautions into the file format to prevent such projects from being loadable into Scratch in the hope that you don't try to circumvent them.

Theoretically you can embed such projects into your own websites by using the Squeakland plugin (from http://www.squeakland.org) in combination with the Lists and Files image and some command line settings in html. Currently, though, I am pausing development of Chirp / Lists until the upcoming new Scratch release. Afterwards I might post some instructions how you can create your own website and embed a customized Scratch version into it.

I was putting it up on MY site, not this one. I had not tried to put it up on the Scratch site at all. Also, embedding it into my site would be great! Please tell me when you are done with the instructions.

Sorry, Cyclone103, I didn't mean to discourage your experiments in creating such a website, just cautioning not to use incompatible projects in Scratch.

I'm sort of brainstorming that it might be interesting to make projects editable in an online version of Scratch, so you could look at the scripts without having to specifically download them first. Taking the Squeakland plug-in and the Scratch Source Code and remixing both into a "Based on Scratch" browser plug-in might be one presumably easy way to accomplish that. Then you could install both the IDE and the plug-in in one pass, in fact, they would be the very same.

But I would also expect some possibly tricky issues to deal with, like unicode- and midi-support. Plus, the Squeak vm's browser plug-in capability is said to be somewhat of a "dirty hack" and doesn't seem to be well documented ...

Well, if you could get that, it'd be so awesome
