…how can I send it to you? It's an AppleScript - based Mac application, so it will only work if you have a Mac. You have to download the Flex mxmlc compiler or it won't work.

@junebeetle
I would love to tinker around with this converter! Could you please send me it at (removed by moderator - please don't share personal contact information)?

you can distribute text… place the sourcecode on pastebin then we compile it ourselfs

Our school district has a terrible internet connection. To have 120 students using Scratch on an unreliable WAN connection is just the worst.
Question: How can we upload Scratch 2.0 to our local LAN webserver rather than the scratch.mit.edu server? This was easy enough with Scratch 1.4 and the applet tag.

Many people are looking for a way to convert an sb2 to an swf. That's the wrong idea. scratch.swf is a complete editor AND viewer. It simply loads sb2 files via flashvars.

1. Download the Scratch 2.0 offline editor. (http://scratch.mit.edu/scratch2download/)
   
2. Save your project – make sure you put a sb2 extension on it. If your project is online, you can pull down the sb2 as well.
   
3. Download scratch.swf, swfobject.js, expressInstall.swf – you'll need to host these locally.
   
4. Edit the code below. Change lightning.sb2 to the name of your file. I'm not going to give a lesson on swfobject – there's tons of documentation on it.
   

I've deactivated our WAN to make sure it works. scratch.swf will attempt to dial home for crossdomain.xml and language settings but those are not critical.

<script type=“text/javascript”>

var flashvars = {
project: “lightning.sb2”,
autostart: “false”
};

var params = {
bgcolor: “#FFFFFF”,
allowScriptAccess: “always”,
allowFullScreen: “true”,
wmode: ‘window’,
menu: ‘false’

};
var attributes = {};

swfobject.embedSWF(“scratch.swf”, “flashContent”, “100%”, “100%”, “10.2.0”,“expressInstall.swf”, flashvars, params, attributes);

</script>
<div id=“flashContent” width=“482px” height=“387px”>
Get <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflash">Adobe Flash Player</a>, otherwise this Scratch movie will not play.
</div>
