Nancy, Hmm, I not sure what is happening so I am sending your note to the Etoys developer's team. They will be able to help. It must be unsettling for you and your students to have the software to act the way you describe.
Let me speak for the EtoysIllinois team and tell you we are glad to hear you like the site and the resources!Would you be interested in attending one of our meetings with Google +? We meet year round, every other Thursday at 1PM, the next meeting will be May 23rd.
There also are weekly meetings of the Squeakland Education Team on Thursdays a little earlier in the day. Both groups enjoy meeting others using Etoys with students. Let me know.

Hi Kathleen,
Does this sound like something you can help with, Kathleen? It sounds like she has the latest version of Etoys.

Hi, first, I want to say we love this site and the resources. I'm trying
to
develop an Etoys program in our school. I am the Computer Resource Teacher/Technology Specialist for one of the elementary schools.
Our technology department recently downloaded Etoys v 5 and I've run into some trouble. The scripts are becoming tiles, and I can't see the script
when I
drag it from the viewer. I just see tiles representing the scripts. And
some of
our projects done in a previous Squeak Etoys version aren't being recognized.
http://etoysillinois.org/download
This is the version we downloaded. Is there a newer one than that or have you had a similar issue? We are kind of stuck right now.
I think the biggest issue is not being able to bring the scripts back out
from
the viewer to work with them after we save.
Thanks
Nancy
Hi It sound like a setting is changed in your Etoys.
Right click on the background/desktop in Etoys, the halo for the background/desktop appears. Click on the menu handle for the background/desktop. Select the 'playfield options' See if 'auto-phrase-expansion' is checked, it should be.
The projects you can't load, are they available for download somewhere, so I can check them for issues ?

Thank you for the fast response, Karl. One of the teacher's 5th graders actually figured it out and they got it working! J
