Note:

• objName: The title of the object
• vars: The variables of an object
• lists: The lists of an object
• blocksBin: The blocks of an object
• isClone: Is an object a clone of another (obsolete as of Scratch 1.4)
• media: Associated media like sounds and costumes

Subclasses

The two subclasses are ScriptableSpriteMorph and ScriptableStageMorph, dictating sprites and the stage, respectively. They need to be different as the stage has limited functionality as compared to sprites; for example, the stage has no motion blocks. The parent class always contains the common properties, for example the common "clear" block.
