What do you mean by you used a different way? Are you sure you compiled Scratch and used the compiled .swf?
I downloaded the Scratch SWF. Decompiled it, edited it, and recompiled

Edit I tried using the way specified on the first page just now and I get a lot of errors, and it takes like 20 min to complete.

either you have errors in your code or you need to use a different operating system. if you have any vmware/other operating systems try on that. it worked perfect on kubuntu (i didn't edit the SWF).
No. It's an error with gradle building, which is the reason why I jumped through many hoops just to use ant. Gradle, at least for me, has been very unusable, and results in errors when trying to download files or build. Try using the old instructions to build it using “ant”, or if you need Ubuntu/Debian instructions, I can post some.

Thanks, although I could not get the old way to work either. I get

Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in <path to java>\jre1.8.0_144\lib\tools.jar

...

BUILD FAILED
<path to scratch-flash>\build.xml:30: Problem: failed to create task or type mxmlc
Cause: the name is undefined.

...

Any Ideas? or Help?

Thanks I installed JDK (a whooping 180MB) although this still happens:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.15063]

clean:

compile-10.2:

I think that it is because it can not find flexTasks.tasks but I do not really know for sure. Thanks for any/all help in advanced.

Is there any tutorial that shows how to create a simple plugin ?

no. creating the plugin is adding funtionality, modding is completely rebuilding it.
making plugins for scratch requires a bunch of java, and i don't remember it. scratchX is meant for plugins, just click this link to go to the main page.

Actually making a Scratch Extension requires only a little bit JavaScript, and some JSON for the blocks. It is really quite simple. And you can learn how here. You can also find lot's of examples here.

How do you add an input type to scratch?
e.g. an input with a drop down that has all lists & variables

ScriptedAwesome

Oh no its outdated! Oh no!

if I said no I didn't want to collaborate with you, then its probably because the collaboration relied to much on the people in it

…That means you already have a folder called scratch-flash. You can just delete the folder, or if you just want to update it go cd scratch-flash and git pull

Hi! I am a webpage and Processing.js programmer elsewhere, and I would like to make a Scratch-type emulation. I saw some source code provided in a different topic that for some inexplicable reason, I can't post in, and saw it looked remarkably similar to what I already have on the emulation. Without downloading anything, do you know a way to access the code that runs Scratch downloaded files?

if your talking about .sb2 files, then you have to download scratch here.
if your talking about the scratch download, then you need adobe air or adobe flash.

Doesn’t modding count as a scratch extension? And aren’t they illegal, or is modding entirety different.

No, Scratch extensions only add blocks; mods can do more. They aren't illegal, but the Terms of Use prevent you from sharing projects made with mods.

Hello,

I've been successful in building (the Gradle way) the swf versions for Scratch.
I would like to be able to build the desktop/air/offline version, but can't find where to set the variable/flag/property to do it.

from the README.md:
“There are two versions of the Scratch 2.0 editor that can be built from this repository. ”
The two versions must be the 10.2 and 11.6 online/web/swf versions.

When building in the first group of build output is this line:
Offline Mode Enabled: false

The second group of build output has:
Target is:11.6

I've tried to make an Actionscript only air project in FlashBuilder, but I can't successfully install a newer AIRSDK in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder x.x\eclipse\plugins\com.adobe.flash.compiler_x.x.x.x
Also tried FDT eclipse IDE but couldn't get the compiler arguments to work.

Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Ajlogo

My browser / operating system: Windows NT 10.0, Chrome 66.0.3359.181, Flash 30.0 (release 0)

Whenever I try to compile Scratch, I put the following:

gradlew.bat build

this error shows up:

'gradlew.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

What do I do?

I have about 3450 posts, 90 shared projects, 180 total created/followed topics, and 425 followers.

You must be in the same folder as gradlew.bat.
