Re: [Squeakland] [Q] E-Toy: How to hook a button to other object
by Alan Kay 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

Hi -- Actually, any script can produce a button to fire it, and also, any object in Etoys can serve as a button (including text objects). 1. Suppose you have a text object named Text that contains some text: 'This is some text'. Drag out Text's characters <- This is some text onto the desktop to make a script. Do it again to make a second script. Name the first script "reset" and the second one "change". Change the text in the "change" script. These scripts can be tested by clicking on the (!). A script will give you a button to fire it. Look at the menu item in a script [] and choose the item button to fire this script. Do this for the other script. Both of these buttons can be relabeled. Here is what this example looks like [] 2. You can also use any object as a button. Get out a rectangle. Put an empty rectangle script on the desktop. Put the tiles: Text's characters <- This is different text in this script. Now look at the normal menu and choose mouseUp. This script will fire when you do mouseUp on the rectangle object. [] You can make a toggle by adding a variable to hold true or false, etc. Cheers, Alan At 05:18 PM 3/3/2007, Young-Jin Lee wrote: >Hi, > >I am a newbie and trying to learn how to develop educational material >using E-Toy. >I went through several E-toy project, but still need some helps. > >In the test program I was writing, I put a few text objects and a >Button object from "Supplies" tab.

[Q] E-Toy: How to hook a button to other object
by Young-Jin Lee 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

Hi, I am a newbie and trying to learn how to develop educational material using E-Toy. I went through several E-toy project, but still need some helps. In the test program I was writing, I put a few text objects and a Button object from "Supplies" tab. My object was to change the text of one of the text objects when the Button is clicked. First, I opened a Viewer for the Button object to figure out what kinds of things I can do to this Button object. I expected to find a method that will be invoked when the button object is clicked. To my surprise, there is no such method. I was able to achieve the goal by (1) creating a script to change the text of one of the text objects and (2) creating "Button to fire to this script". But, I don't think this method is in sprite of Squeack, visual programming. I want to first create a button and make this button change the text of one of the text objects when this button is clicked, not the other way around. To me, this approach is in line of Squeak's philosophy. Can any one please explain what I have missed? Thanks in advance. Young-Jin

Strange error when loading a project into another from a superwiki then saving the image
by Hilaire Fernandes 03 Mar '07

03 Mar '07

I have found this strange error, with squeakland (with up to date update) If I load a project from a superwiki, then I save the image I got an error and the image is not saved. It is a primitive error, and it is looking like Squeak try to create a /home directory (which it is not authorized to) If then, I reload the project from the downloaded project in the squeaklet directory, then I can save just fine the image.

Re: [Squeakland] [Q] How to learn squeak
by Alan Kay 03 Mar '07

Hi - What kind of educational material are you interested in making? Squeakland is set up for children who are 8-12 years old. There are tutuorials, examples, etc. Take a look at http://www.squeakland.org/pdf/etoys_n_learning.pdf for a white paper about the educational approach. Take a look at http://www.squeakland.org/pdf/etoys_n_authoring.pdf for a white paper about the media approach There is a book for teachers at http://www.squeakland.org/sqmedia/books/kimbjbook.html http://www.squeak.org is the main site for Squeak for adult computer folks. You will find quite a bit of stuff there.
