A few questions:

1. Does Phosphorus still only play sounds shorter than 29 seconds?
2. What does the thumbnail of a project turned into an app look like inside the app?
3: (more complicated question) If I put a ‘go to mouse-pointer block’ inside the project I want to turn into an app, how would that work? I mean, since clicking a mouse is equivalent to tapping on a phone, would something following the mouse-pointer be following your finger if you are holding down on the screen of a phone?

1. Pretty sure that's been fixed.
2. There is no thumbnail.
3. No clue. I'll have to try it out, but I would imagine it would go to where the screen was last tapped?
3. I would guess that it would go to the last place the screen was tapped

Thank you both for answering my questions.

I'm just a forum helper looking to code, write, produce, record, rap, and design. I'm also Christian and conservative.

Looking forward to using 3.0 on mobile

Thanks, and good luck to all!

Has anyone here tried AppInventor?

Hi everyone! I'm making a lot of games I want to make into Kindle Fire apps but there are a lot of things I want to know about Scratch app development:

1: Would cloud data work in a Scratch app?

2: If you used a

ask [] and wait

in your app, then if you tapped on the text box, would a keyboard come up?

3: What would the Green Flag Jump Effect do if it were in a Kindle Fire app?

4: Can I use a sound more than 30 seconds long?

Those are the questions I have right now.

knowing that I can make apps with scratch!

1. Not by default. If you want to use cloud data, you have to have a (paid) server hosting it and mess with the Phosphorus source code.
2. I think.
4. Yes. That has been resolved by Nathan.

I have released an app for the kindle fire app store! But, when I downloaded it, it did not have a logo! Even though it had a logo on the appstore. Can anyone help me?

Did you create an icon for the app? You have to edit some xml.

Well, I'm not sure about with PhoneGap but (android only) if you;

1: compile with phosphorus,
2: make a apps geyser account and use web template,
3: fill out info about your app
4: download your apk,
yes, it would go to the last place pressed.

I actually put a link to the studio on my scratch version of my app.

Is there any way I can change the aspect ratio of the final app? I want it to be 240x400 so it's optimized for phones.

Unfortunately PhoneGap is discontinued making the project obsolete.

This may be a way to create a scratch project app:

First, download a scratch project,
Open your files and drag it into your desktop

I'm not very sure about this but if fails maybe you can give me another way

no this wouldnt' work. However, it's much easier now after https://packager.turbowarp.org/ got made. You can make it into a windows, mac or linux app, or a website.

So maybe we can get some help..
Scratch can be turned into an app but not projects but there's something that l'm concerned with, that Embed code is for creating websites and what else.

Umm

right now, it's pretty much impossible to port a scratch app to android/ios, but you can port to a website, windows app, mac os app and linux app
