Hello all,
Sorry for the terse note, but I just have a quick question: is it possible to add flaps to the Scripting presenter; further, is it possible to add a supply flap to it without losing it in the World?
Thanks,
John
Hi, John,
The quick answer is, "sorry, no."
Which is to say, there is no direct, straightforward support for this.
Of course, *everything* is "possible" in Squeak ;-) But this undertaking would probably require plenty of effort.
Cheers,

Do you mean the thing that is named "Scripting"? If so you can add flaps to it easily:
Open up a halo on the Supplies flap, grab the green duplicate handle, and drop the duplicate on the white part of the scripting playfield.
Or is this not what you wanted to do?

However, if you want them to actually work correctly, this change set will help...
Naturally, I've only tested this for about 30 seconds, so there are no guarantees, but it's a start.
Ned's idea worked great; I can't believe I went to the workspace before simply going to the handles...

...Doh, he was right that some flaps misbehave. Actually, the Viewer flaps are the ones misbehaving (clicking the top "O" removes the tiles but not the flap) and not the duplicated flaps.
It's worthwhile to contemplate how this might be done. And it would make a nice piece of documentation of one kind of media construction.

Given that the question came up while I was working on a media tutorial and given that I think tutorials should exemplify rather than modify the system*, I whole-heartedly agree.
*(they can teach how but not actually do so)
Thanks all,

On the other hand, using just the etoys, you can make perfectly working flaps (nonstandard, but functional) and use them anywhere. I have done this several times with good results.
