Scratch

Hello,

Some instrumnets from MIDI are not working. Try this example http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/jogaye/1105114 and check the bird and the sea.

MacOSX+Firefox+Flash 10.2

you can't us the new version on your own sites please can you fix it?

AMAZING!
what does it do different?<touching color[ <mouse down?>

OMG the flash player is AWESOME.  Now my projects work better and are not slow.  You have done it scratch team!            

There are some issues with large integers, they are shown in scientific notation instead of printing them with all digits, like it was done before.

This brings a couple of problems when teaching a bit advanced arithmetics...

Example here: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/joanguell/1647401

This program prints different results when run on the desktop version (Squeak Smalltalk), java online version or flash online version.

the system is great. its faster than when i download it 

It's not working, like, at all with my games. It seems not to have that sprite (which has ghost set to 100) detecting when it is touching certain colors. It works fine on the downloaded version of scratch. PLEASE FIX THIS!!

The flash version is much better.
I noticed it handles large numbers of sprites better, but it still lags with large images, I think.
Anyway, it's a lot better!

Cool!
it's too fast!! and better then Java.

suggestion: why don't you use HTML5?

I believe BoltBait asked that question before and this is what the Scratch Team answered    :

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.

We agree that HTML5/JS would have some clear advantages, and we considered it for Scratch 2.0. Unfortunately, our development team found that HTML5/JS does not support all of the features we want/need (at least not yet -- it might in a few years). Here are a few of the issues (courtesy of John Maloney, who leads Scratch application development):

* Flash has cross-platform support for microphone and video input; HTML5 has neither.

* HTML5 doesn't yet support the audio API's necessary to write your own MIDI synth (real-time audio generation), so the Scratch note/drum blocks can't be implemented.

* Although the HTML5 Canvas does support bitmap manipulation, it's slow.

* The HTML5 specs are still evolving. Which features are implemented at varies across browsers, and sometimes a given feature behaves differently in different browsers.

I think the Flash Player works really great on some projects and makes them faster and smoother to watch or play. But as for my projects, the movement is a little to fast, and it mostly works best with the Java player.

Works great, my "Slide Show 2.0" works again.
It worked when I originally uploaded however, at some point it stopped and I could not figure out why.  Did a java update cause an incompatibility?  Whatever the cause the new flash player works.

Flash version is glitchy, like I had a game with a timer, and it normally waits for certain time, before it give you certain enemies, but with flash it made the enemies all come right of the bhttp://scratch.mit.edu/forums/post.php?tid=57148#req_messageat.  But it is so much faster, I think.
