Local webserver for Scratch editor

Mr_Irving

Hi all, we are looking to serve up the Scratch editor with one or two specific projects that we have students use. I've found a few threads on here and gotten much of the way there, but am stuck with a few items. I'm fine implementing the project in any of them, but can't seem to get over the finish line.

METHOD 1 - Using SB2 to SWF generator from http://junebeetle.github.io/converter
ISSUE: I can get the project and editor served via local web server, but the sprite library is completely empty
QUESTION: Is there a way to populate the library? Either with existing sprites, or my own that I would like the students to use? Having them upload sprites to the project each time is not feasible.

METHOD 2 - Using Post #6 from https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/42691 (essentially using an <object> tag to call it)
ISSUE: I can get the project to load, but not the editor.
QUESTION: What did I do wrong?

METHOD 3 - Using Post #2 from https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/42691
ISSUE: I can't get it to load at all. HTML is pasted below (note, all references are to temporary Internet site. Will be moved to local site once complete).
