Embedding Scratch Blocks into other applications
Is there any way I can get the functionality of the block editor of Scratch into my actionscript project? I'm working on a code editor for a language (Not scratch) and I want to be able to create code the same way as in the scratch editor (Drag/drop etc) - I'd hate to have to re-invent the wheel...
Many thanks,

No. That’s not possible because Scratch is created in Squeak, not ActionScript. It may be possible after the release of Scratch 2.0, but that’s could be a while.

Are you aware of any other frameworks / component sets which provide the functionality I require?
Thanks.
I really do believe no one has created a framework for drag-dropping blocks yet -- although it's being used more and more often lately.
It's something someone, somewhere should try to implement

If you know both Squeak and ActionScript, try translating the code directly.

Hi walton909,
if it's just the blocks your after you might want to have a look at Open Blocks, which is also from MIT (from Ricarose Roque who has now joined the Scratch Team), and which Hal Abelson has used for Google App Creator.
Good luck!
