Updates! May 13, 2015
For those confused on “3D Mode”:
A while ago, a new update to flash (removing something called “Pixelblender”) caused the graphics effects blocks to be super slow. The remedy came through an actionscript rendering tool that is capable of 3D. However, scratch does not have any sort of 3D, so the tool was used simply for rendering things in 2D. This “3D” mode was activated once some of the graphic effects blocks were used (excluding ghost). The 3D only has to do with some of the behind-the-scenes work scratch has to do, and it was rather buggy when it was first used. However, with new updates such as this one, it is getting better and better.
I'm pretty sure everything I just said was accurate (at least on a semi-technical level), but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Oh, and btw, when's the next SVU coming out?
Yeah, It's been while (it seems like!)

Um…what is Editor 3D mode? I am always so oblivious to this stuff.

Thanks! Many projects I have made have been messed up because of that.
Uh oh! Apostrophes, commas, and other special characters appear to be broken. We're going to fix it as soon as possible!

Well, I found a glitch. When I right-click to delete something, I have to move around to get the right spot. For Example, when I right-click the backpack, and select “Delete” , it deletes the one before it! IDK whats wrong? Is it a glitch, or is it suppost to do that and I'm crazy?
