The default resolution of the Stage in MIT Scratch is 480x360 in a 4:3 aspect ratio. I want to change it to a 16:9 aspect ratio, with a 720p resolution. Is there any source file or script that has to be edited in order to do this?
Also, I found this link: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/52369/ but I cannot understand how to do so. Here is a source file from that link: https://github.com/LLK/scratch-flash/blob/053d2b2eaf172ed2889211f5f57621731183f5c1/src/scratch/ScratchObj.as (Go to the line #51 to see the width and height of the stage: https://github.com/LLK/scratch-flash/blob/053d2b2eaf172ed2889211f5f57621731183f5c1/src/scratch/ScratchObj.as#L51 ) How to edit that source file, and then how would I compile it? Whenever I open that ActionScript file, It opens in Adobe Animate CC with black text on a black background (which I can't read).
Can anyone give me the step-by-step instructions to do that?
Hey!
Compiling scratch from source would be a lot of work, there are better ways for this.
I think there are two efficient ways to solve that problem:
Change the height and width of the snippet like you want. This only works, when your project is published.
Replace [Project ID] with the id at the end of the URL when opening the editor in Scratch.
(Example: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/12345678/#editor -> Change [Project ID] to 12345678)
<div style="overflow-y: hidden; height: 720px; overflow-x: hidden; width: 960px;"
id="applet">
<iframe style="margin-top:-70px; margin-left:-11px;" allowtransparency="false"
width="980" height="820" bgcolor=#220000
src="http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/embed/[Project ID]/?autostart=true"
allowfullscreen>
</iframe>
<br/><br/>
</div>Open your project in the Sulfurous Player, after that you can set a custom width and height. If you use 16:9 make sure elements at the bottom of the stage won't get cut off.
