Hiding scripts
If you right click on a script you should be able to hide it. Good suggestion?

What's the purpose? If you want a script out of the way, you can always move it or use the "clean up scripts" option. And if you did hide a script, how would you get it back?
This potion can be used for if you want to add cheat codes into a game and you dont want people finding out the codes, you can just hide the script!
After clicking the "hide" option you set a password or something. To get the script back just right click anywhee and choose the option "show scripts". Choose the script you want to show again and enter the password.
This or maybe you can just stop people from downloading your project.

If the intention is to hide scripts from people using the project, this is a definite no-go. One of Scratch's core principles is sharing projects so that others can learn from them - anything that hides or otherwise prevents people from seeing and modifying scripts would go against that. Sorry.

Re: Hiding scripts
It's similar to blocking downloads. Hiding scripts (not dragging them where they can be replaced with clean up) prevents people from seeing the source.

And locking downloads is not allowed. You see, Scratch's motto is "Imagine, program, share," meaning that it's OK if you learn from other people's projects. Let's say a project is a dish with it's own recipe and toppings. Cooking that dish doesn't mean you're infringing copyright. If we locked downloads or made scripts invisible (like what LordAwesome123 is saying), the "share" part of Scratch's motto is gone.

Not only that, but Scratch projects on the Scratch website are licensed under a Creative Commons license, which means that people are free to view and edit the source of any project.
I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>Offline
