[Newbies] Re: Another newbie Morphic question

[mike clemow]

Hello,

Okay, answered my own question:

I subclassed ImageMorph, overriding the initialize method with:

initialize

	super initialize.
	self image: (Form fromFileNamed: 'ducky.png').

Now I can create a new DuckMorph.  Will Squeak support PNG
transparency?  I guess I could find that out myself.  :)

Cheers,
Mike
