• The custom cursor disappears when the mouse is clicked anywhere. There is a workaround that kind of works:
  

  when green flag clicked
  set cursor to [pencil v] :: motion
  forever
  if <mouse down?> then
  set cursor to [pencil v] :: motion

• The ‘and wait’ function of the load file block doesn't work yet…
  
• The rotation style reporter only works in the watcher, the actual block is broken
  
• The replace letters between two points with string block replaces all instances of the string found between the two letters
  
• All options on the fullscreen mode block turn on small stage mode, and the fullscreen option turns on turbo mode as well
  
• The deactivate turbo mode block activates turbo mode instead of deactivating it
  
• The confirm dialog boolean doesn't wait to report, so it reports ‘undefined’
  
• The color blocks do not return color type variables
  
• The custom reporter block must be run with a report block or Scratch hangs

for each[variable v]in[10]::control cstart//Number in string input is not necessary

for each[variable v]in(10)::control cstart//Notice the number insert

You should change the

for each[variable v]in[10]::control cstart//Number in string input is not necessary

block as this way: “for each %m.var in %s”
Then it should look like this when this is changed:

for each[variable v]in(10)::control cstart//Notice the number insert

That way, this change will make the variable dropdown work, rather than not working (because it's supposed to be “%m.var”, not“%m.varName”), and the number insert is a textbox for some reason, so that it must look like a number input, not a string input.

And also, please get rid of the “all at once” block. All it does is nothing but run normally.

None of the new blocks work

And some are impossible

I've fixed the foreach block

Would it be possible to add sockets (WebSockets, since some research on my end seems to indicate Flash doesn't support raw sockets)/networking into the project? Just simple "send “ and ”receive“ blocks and of course a ”connect to " block? I could give a better idea on what blocks to add and how it will all work on the backend if you are interested.

Yes, sure! What exactly are you suggesting I add? Is this a bit like sending from one project and receiving in another?

And you also forgot to fix the number insert. “for each %m.var in %n”

Did you get the idea of a

You mean write these custom reporters/booleans like this:

define custom reporter//As per here: http://tinyurl.com/pz8vxgo
::custom cstart cap
{report[]::custom-arg cap}::cend
define custom boolean//As per here: http://tinyurl.com/pz8vxgo
