Change sorter for projects
by dgraftery＠verizon.net 22 Nov '05

22 Nov '05

I was watching a video of Alan Kay presenting Squeak. He went to one screen which had thumbnails of all the projects in his current image. What object did he use to do that? How can I do that? Is there a change sorter or story board object to hold or reference projects? Thanks, Dave

Security settings?
by Mark Engelberg 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

When first starting up Squeak on Windows XP, it says it is initializing the security system. What exactly is it doing? Also, FYI, on my kids' account on XP, Squeak always crashes during this startup. I suspect that the reason it crashes on their account is because the name of their account contains an ampersand symbol (&). Fortunately, if we simply "abandon" the error, it seems to work just fine. --Mark Engelberg

Some success: Four teachers at the school of my son are intereste d in learning Squeak (E-Toys)!
by "Hübner, Uwe" 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

Dear Squeakers! Recent thursday I presented 'Squeakers' DVD (2002). Nearly all teachers watched the presentation (this was encouraged by the rector (headmaster) of the school). Reaction to the film was mixed. Cerctainly the question emerged, how many schools in Germany currently use Squeak. My answer: I guess - not too many. One teacher criticized that the film didn't show many Squeak projects. Nevertheless the rector sent me an E-Mail that four teachers are interested to learn Squeak (E-Toys). I think, that is at least 'some' success and I would like to thank everybody that were involved in developing/supporting Squeak so far! Additionally I would like to thank everybody that supported me recently! Greetings Uwe

No. The only non-English language that's simple enough for me to understand is Esperanto. Any Esperanto Squeak books in the works? :) --Mark On 11/18/05, Kim Rose <kim.rose(a)squeakland.org> wrote: > Hi, Mark - > Do you speak Spanish?

save Squeak animation to Flash
by Arvind Grover 14 Nov '05

14 Nov '05

If I have animations in Squeak and want to capture them into a Flash movie, what would be the easiest way? I know I can use a program like Wink to capture screenshots and make a Flash movie that way. I want to avoid getting the Wink frame and play/pause button around the movie. Any ideas, or better yet solutions? arvind agrover(a)hewittschool.org
