@bharvey
Another way to do it :

script variables <a><var>
set <a> to "kiki"
set <var> to "secret"
launch [the script [[set <var> to <a>][say <a> for <2> secs]] ] of <other guy>

@bharvey
Sorry ! my previous script should be replaced by this one :

script variables <a><var><obj>
set <a> to "kiki"
set <var> to "secret"
set <obj> to "other guy"
launch [the script [[set <var> to <a>][say [<var> of <obj>] for <2> secs]] ] of <obj>

But when you duplicate the script, it also duplicates the variable in Alonzo. That's what we're trying to avoid.

Your other way works, but is essentially the same as Jens's way. You used a script variable and he used a formal parameter of a lambda, but you're both setting a variable to the name of the other sprite's variable.

My school district blocks normal websites AND programs! tongue

Yet it seems half of the budget goes to technology. Strange, because you can't do anything on the computers. hmm

I bet you can type your papers on Word. Isn't that what computers are for? smile

But, Jens, why doesn't this work:

SCRIPT VARIABLES <secret>
SET [[THE <secret> BLOCK] OF <sprite2>] TO <something>

Ah, nice try (I like your idea)! This doesn't work because SCRIPT VARIABLE reporters are a special bunch and can only find other lexically scoped variables and parameters, which, given Scratch's legacy unfortunately doesn't apply to "normal" local or global ones.

If you can get past compatibility issues with Word 2003 and 2007, as well as disappearing files. tongue

Welcome to the Internet. tongue
Anyways, what are you doing programming BYOB if computers are only for Word? tongue

Being sarcastic!

When I was a high school teacher (early '80s) it used to drive me crazy when kids said "anyways," so I tried to drive them crazy back by saying "anyhows." smile I'm surprised it hasn't gone out of style!

Just I! But not in a long time.

When is 3.1 gonna be released for real? I can't just download and install stuff so I'm not taking these tests. ^^

A nickle saved is a nickle earned. Which means you just earned a nickle.
As bharvey was saying, it was just a joke about stereotypes. And it is just an opinion. Anyways, I don't have a facebook, myspace, or twitter account. And internet privacy is a very important thing to be aware of.

You are right. All I have is twitter and skype.

Thanks, now I understand your point.
But anyway, the idea to get the control (both variables and action) of any sprite by any other sprite can be very useful. Please find an example of this at :

I would have thought it'd be ready by now, but you guys keep finding obscure bugs! But honest, the current beta isn't going to blow up your computer or install spyware or anything. Go ahead and install it.

Actually, there is Office for Macs as well (assuming you don't have Linux).

It won't, but I don't always feel like waiting half an hour while my parents are doing other things, especially not for a beta. tongue
