wait… where did you get an offline flash player from? me need to know
the best place to look as far as i know is adobes own debug downloads page: https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/debug_downloads.html

itll only work so well with s2online though, since s2online wouldnt have access to any of the javascript stuff necessary for downloading projects

but general SWFs (from game sites etc) can be run through it pretty easily in my experience!

Yeah, sorry about that – Chromebooks don't have support for Flash at all, or viewing downloaded SWF files. You'd have to use a Windows, Mac, or Linux computer to use Scrap!

Scrap
A Scratch 2.0 mod dedicated to making Scratch projects.

Have you ever thought of making a cool big Scratch project before? If you have, you've probably tried to do it – and gotten stuck. Scratch is not very good at making big projects, especially if all your scripts for (one part of) your game's engine are stored in one sprite (that way it's easiest for the scripts to talk to each other – no need for broadcast lag..).

This mod is an attempt at making Scratch a bit more bearable – and powerful – so that you really can use it to make that big idea you had in mind.

Scrap is compatible with Scratch, both backwards and forwards. That means you can open a Scrap project in Scratch and have it work exactly like it would in Scrap, then you can modify the project in Scratch, and open it in Scrap, and switch between editors whenever you want, while keeping the project behaving the same way everywhere.

Features

Biggest features first! Scrap adds a new part to the Scratch interface called the Script Browser:



As you can see, it's positioned right below the scripting area.

The point of the Script Browser is to give you a quick and easy way to access all of your scripts, one at a time. When you click on a script inside the Script Browser, it'll make your script editor focus on that script – and that script only. It makes the whole Scratch interface (and stage!) lags a whole lot less, makes it easier to navigate your project, and makes it simple to focus on one chunk of your project at a time.


Another significant and often wanted tool is Custom Block Libraries:



Custom block libraries are little packages of custom blocks. They're portable; you can save libraries in plain-text JSON files, and send the file to another computer or an online download or even just to another sprite in your project.


Other cool features:
  • The save/load project menu actually works! That took a while to figure out. If you're another modder who would like to find out more, you can read about that here.
  • Variable/list menus are properly sorted. Local and global (stage) variables are also split, with local variables on the top since those are the ones you'll probably be using most – both in menus and palettes! Screenshot (and another).
  • The custom block palette is also sorted too, of course.
  • A preview mode, which basically “locks” the stage, making it so that it behaves as if you're in the project player rather than the editor.
  • Broadcast-specific variables.
  • Hacked blocks can be made, now, but you can also just type in menu inputs. No more “switch costume to (join (previous ) (costume))”!
  • You can use variable, list, and just about any other menu in custom blocks, as well as color inputs.
  • ..And quite a number of other things you can find on the releases page.

Run Scrap online!
This (official) site always contains the most recent release of Scrap, and it's definitely the easiest way to get going with the mod.

Download
v007 – you can find all the releases here.

The source code is open source blah blah license fork of LLK/scratch-flash something something, you can find it here.

Keep in mind to load projects you'll need to have the SWF file on a server. Just make a folder on your desktop, but the SWF in that, cd into it through whatever terminal app you have, and then run “python -m SimpleHTTPServer” (or “python3 -m http.server”), and navigate to the URL you're given in your web browser to get started!

Cool! But, can you please update it so that the offline version can be without Flash. It sounds cool, though!

Why did I know somebody was going to say this

I simplified because it's not a super important point (what matters is they would need another type of computer), but you're right, yeah! Chromebooks just have specific limitations (by Google / the Chromebook devs) which make it hard/impossible (I'm not sure) to run Flash and external programs.

Aw geez, I'm sorry to hear… I hope you get the chance to use another computer soon! It sucks to not have access to programs because of technical restrictions on the device you use. I know what that's like!

I am gonna keep this topic open though, since I still want there to be a place for people to talk about it if they want to. Maybe sometime you'll have access to another computer and use Flash to run Scrap—if this topic were closed, you wouldn't have anywhere to talk about Scrap or ask for help getting it set up!

Thank you! Unfortunately, that's not really something I have the ability to do. Scrap requires Flash, of course, since it's a mod of Scratch 2.0, and there's not really anything I can do to (for example) program it in something else—if you want similar features and additions that Scrap adds, I'd recommend checking out the editor mode in Turbowarp, which has a whole host of community-developed addons. Kinda like if Scrap were made by a whole bunch of people, with all sorts of cool ideas!

Theoretically it might be possible to package Flash as part of Scrap, the way the Scratch 2.0 offline editor works. I'm not personally familiar with Adobe AIR, though, which is the technology which makes Scratch 2.0 work offline.

Unless the person you're talking to is fairly advanced with tech and command-line stuff, this isn't really a helpful suggestion—I don't know @4wngregus1 but their profile doesn't suggest they work with code much. Just telling them to do something is probably going to come across as confusing and frustrating, if they have no idea what you're even really talking about, or where to begin.

Not being able to use it on a chromebook is not a reason to report a topic to be closed.
