Is there a limit to the length of a script?
My really long script looks like it's been cut...
Click and then zoom in for full size

O_O
I don't think there's any limit other than Squeak's memory limit... which you may have hit with a script that large. It's also very likely that the script is simply so massive that it's taking a very long time to draw, so you're just not seeing the whole thing.

Re: Is there a limit to the length of a script?
Um, why on earth do you need a script like that? Can't you just use repeat blocks or something? O.o
Well... I suppose if that's really necessary, you could try splitting it up into separate scripts. That cutoff thing only happens on single, really long scripts.
I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Well, It's for some music I'm rendering with the MIDI blocks. I've uploaded it now

Aha!
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

Hint: Put all the numbers in a list alphabetically then:
[repeat (length of sound)]
[play sound* (item current of sound)]
[change current by 1]
[/repeat]
*Whatever the MIDI block was.
Back in my day.... there were no laws that censored the internet... now, there are.... nah.

It's a bug in Scratch that will be fixed in 2.0.

Yeah, I have a 3D project with a superlong script, and it did that. The script will still work, you just cant see it.
Yes, It seems to work fine
