Hey laser100, what do you mean by "offline"?

Re: ummm....

actually, nevermind.I don't know. I don't remember which project it was, but in the experimental viewer, it said that it was offline(you know the 0/0 trick?).

I think one of floatingmagictree's project uses 0/0 to detect online/offline execution, and it works in the Flash Player. Take a looksmile

I'm willing to bet there are going to be some issues with projects that use workarounds to detect online/offline detection because of underlying differences between the Scratch in Java and Scratch in Flash.

Re: ummm....

The detection is due to a bug in the Java player which apparently is not present in the Flash player. The project, therefore, thinks it's offline, when it's not.
