After a few years developing flash it was a joy to be able to create something entirely using the mouse. This is my first project, created within three hours of downloading the software.
Use the arrow keys to swim around.
Eat 10 starfish.
Avoid the crabs.
Eat too much and you get fat, which makes dodging harder

Scratch vs Flash... Drag and Drop coding has a lot going for it, you don't have to mess about with counting closing brackets, or learning syntax. Using colour and shape to structure your programming logic gives you a more intuitive grasp on coding, compared with the big development environments which although feature-rich, still feel like text editors. I wouldn't be surprised if features from scratch get incorporated in other programming environments, eg smart selection and colouring of text blocks within a text editor. I suppose coding is not about typing code, it's about laying down a sequence of concepts.

My thoughts on Scratch are that it's easier for kids to learn. Flash is harder to get started with than Scratch. Although I know both languages fairly well, I can safely say that I'd use Flash for 'professional' activities - such as web design - but I'd use Scratch for 'fun' activities - such as game development.
