grrr why cant i find the [removed by Moderator] tile that says 'obsolete!' its [removed by Moderator] sorry about the language    :@

Go wash your mouth out with soap!  Such language...

The "obsolete" block appears when Scratch finds a block that is no longer supported (like the old comment block from 1.2 beta) or one that it can't recognize (any custom block added to a modded version of Scratch.  Ask somebody in the Advanced topics forums...they probably have a project with something in it that will appear as obsolete.

The two knobs in this project aren't working in the Experimental Viewer. However, they work in both Scratch and Java*.

* Except there's another problem in Java - "set volume" block not working

I tried to use it using Google chrome.  It crashed the browser and I had to restart the computer!

I think it's a little "cramped." I would appreciate it being more spacious! 

Yeah.. it'd be nice if the scripts area would enlarge when you maximize the window 

Wow, this is so cool! I don't have download anything now! Very convenient! I hope this experiment is on for everybody later on!!

where "51" is, I had (slider sensor value). It didn't recognize that I even had a sensor plugged in!

What are you mad about? 

I'm angry that I can't have fun with my sensor!

Want to try a new way to play with Scratch projects? The Experimental Viewer is now available that allows you to explore and play with all parts of a Scratch project directly in your web browser. 

To find out how you can test out the Experimental Viewer, go to: http://scratch.mit.edu/experimental

Please leave any questions, comments, or bugs on this forum thread.  We look forward to hearing your thoughts on the experimental viewer!

Thanks,
Scratch Team

I already have it! YAY!

I personally like the old block style better.  The new style in the Experimental Viewer looks somehow strange.  Other than that, the new veiwer is very cool.   

Yeah, I agree - hopefully they'll revert to the retro style by 2.0.

How can I make the experimental viewer reload the project from the web?

I ran my project in the experimental viewer and didn't like the way it looked, so I made some changes in the regular scratch program and uploaded the changes.  Now, when I view my project in the experimental viewer it shows the old project without any of my changes.

I turned off my computer, router, and cable modem thinking it was caching here, but I'm still seeing the old code in the experimental viewer.  I even deleted my temporary internet files.

How can I force the experimental viewer to load the current version of the project?

Please don't take this the wrong way, but I have a very serious question about the new 2.0 viewer.

Why did you choose Flash over HTML5/JavaScript?

Had you choosen the latter, you'd automatically have support for iPhone et. al.

I asked the Scratch Team precisely the same question, although I was more leaning towards the open-source aspect of Scratch, which Flash, well, isn't. The answer I got (from a member of the Scratch Team not in charge of that decision) was that JS and HTML5 are still developing technologies, with little support for a lot of the stuff Scratch needs, such as sound libraries. Now I'd better stop before I say too much.
