Scratch

I think the point of the experimental viewer is that it's well, experimental. If you could embed it, it would cause problems for people that haven't opted in.

Nice! If the forums had a like button I'd press it.

See my post for steps to embed

Cool! 

Hmm... since the viewer is in Flash, I wonder if it can be embedded into a PowerPoint presentation. I'll have to try that out sometime.

Yeah that would be cool. (You'd would need an Internet connection, however, to make it work). 

I'm having a bit of trouble figuring it out, though. It's usually done by inputting the direct location of the player, and it's the URL of the player I can't figure out.

Right now, I'm working with one of my files, and the given embed code based on the source code is

http://scratch.mit.edu/static/experimental/Scratch.swf?owner=cheddargirl&projectname=1226930&userid=159139

and I have a feeling the URL needed to embed the Scratch Player into PowerPoint would look something similar (although perhaps much more simple) to that URL above. I put in the URL directly, but this doesn't work (although a Flash file is detected by PowerPoint when I try to play it, so at least I think I'm headed in the right direction).

Eh, I'm busy now, I'll play around with the code later. But, if anyone else wants to experiment to see if they can successfully get Scratch into PowerPoint, by all means, go right ahead.

I got it to work in Powerpoint 2010.

To insert shockwave object into power point go here and navigate to your version.

Go to the source code of the project in the experimental viewer and find the link.
Copy the link to the shockwave objects source.

Gyaaah, I wonder why it's not working for me (I have PowerPoint 2007). D:

I'm punching in this (http://scratch.mit.edu/static/experimental/Scratch.swf?owner=cheddargirl&projectname=1226930&userid=159139) into the value next to "Movie" (I has suspected that this was the right code all along). Or are you putting the embed code in a different property?

I got it to work in PowerPoint 2003.

By the way, how should we give credit?

Probablys just put something along the bottom of the screen? Like a link to the scratch website and saying you didn't create or own the viewer?

Perhaps.

I'll try it in 2007.

Works in 2007. This link.

And your one works. View the power point and see if it loads.

Be sure it's shockwave flash object.

I'm pretty sure I'm using the Shockwave Flash object I'm using. I've done this before with previous PowerPoint Presentations.

This one, oddly, refuses to work for me.    Maybe it might be my internet (I was trying it out when the signal was waning in and out), I'll have to check it out again later.

Maybe what-the could be nice enough to upload his version for you to take a look at, see what (s)he's done differently.

Well here is a powerpoint containing cheddargirl's project.

Cheddargirl. See if this works for you. Just run the presentation and wait a few seconds for it to load.

Nope, doesn't work, it says "Movie not loaded" when I go in and check, waited for about a minute to make sure. Now I definitely know it's something on my end.
