Glitches in Java and Flash viewer, or it's just me?

Hi there.

I uploaded my family pong game yesterday and it works perfectly on Scratch on my computer but when it's uploaded on the website it has a bunch of glitches (This is on Mac OS 10.6).  I tried different browsers and different viewers.  Here is the link: Family Pong

In Firefox - Java viewer the top 6th of the screen is completely white (for all projects on Scratch right now) and the extra sound per costume when they hit the paddle doesn't work. Also, the spacebar response doesn't seem to work for any of the scratch projects in Firefox-for either viewer.  In Firefox-Flash viewer, and Safari both viewers I at least see the  full screen but again, the extra sound doesn't work, nor does the spacebar reliably. 

The project does have two sound responses to the paddle each time it's hit - maybe that is too much?  I'll try getting rid of the default water drop sound and see if that fixes it.

Any advice appreciated! Thanks.

Alf

It's typically just an error with the online player showing the Scratch project. You can usually improve this sort of error by minimizing the amount of broadcasts and forever loops, but it's usually nearly impossible to debug otherwise.  hmm

Thanks, Harakou.  Yeah, I removed the water drop sound in one of the forever loops and that way at least the important sounds work.  I think the Firefox glitch may just be on my OS.
