I honestly don't see why it's so hard to understand. When you first get a Chromecast, you only need to set it up once, then you could use it again however many times you want to, without having to ever go to it. A Chromecast is wireless, so when you need it on the screen, you can simply click a button, whereas a cable makes you get up and have to plug it in.

That depends on the equipment you are talking about. A desktop projector is quite different than a ceiling projector, along with different specifications each projector has.

I'm not talking about a projector, I'm talking about a casting device.

Okay. Then I can't see how hard this would be. All you have to do is set your computer to cast the information to the receiver. You should be able to do this without any Scratch extension, and comes with most operating systems. I would advise that you contact your Tech Administrator for your school (or wherever you are) on how to mirror your screen with the receiver. This way, you can show your project while controlling your computer at the same time.

I don't think you get how Chromecast work. I have an argument against the normal extension (check the FAQ). Which is why I'm suggesting a Scratch app to be made for Chromecast and to add a button at the top of the player if it detects one nearby, which is how it works.

I did some research, and according to Google, its possible using the Chrome Browser without an extension. Could you try that?

Good idea IF it only casts the STAGE to the screen.

Yes but the ChromeCast thing costs more money than like 10 HDMI cables.

It's worth the price because it's wireless and it has apps for things like Netflix, YouTube, and all that stuff.

Yes, that's what I was thinking.

That's using an extension. I have an argument against the extension.

100% support, for reasons listed in the original post.

BUMP

BUMP

I think this is a good idea then. According to Google, the extension is able to cause more minor problems with the computer than when you have a cast enabled site. The airplay will also be helpful for Apple users.

However, I don't think this should be added to Scratch 2.0. I am currently seeing no evidence that Chromecast can support Flash Player without another external extension. I think this should be added to 3.0, since it will be in HTML5 format and is going to be the updated version of Scratch anyway.

Cool! Great idea!

BUMP AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

No support, Scratch isn't a projection device, or something like Youtube.

EDIT: Happy new year!
