Place a link to a fileIn on the Squeak page would help.
An URL morph represents a URL for a SqueakPage. It displays the
thumbnail
for the associated page, if available. Used in page sorters and for
bookmarks.
Open your browser and look for class URLMorph. The class is commented.
Providing informations as kind of books is very cool! But a book only
displays pages in a sequence. What if we create a special class for
these page
URL's (for instance UPLMorph - Uniform Page locator) so that we can
embed another morph into it? Then the UPL-Morph should get transparent
(like
the BackgroundMorph if you embed another morph) and if you click on the
embedded morph the referenced page (given by the UPL) is opened from the
web.
The pages can include any morph object as static morph or as refernce to
another page - that's what I call real WWW.
So any morph can act like a hyper(morph)-link. With this technology we
are able to
create Web-Pages without the layout restrictions of HTML.
Interactive pages with animations, pictures, sound, ...
What do you think about this ?
By the way - there is an interesting SWF-File
on:ftp.cs.technion.ac.il/pub/courses/electronic.pub/noimark/Seminar.swf
And a nice cartoon on:
ftp.fred.net/pub/users-www/bhustead/shock/episode1.swf

Betreff: SqueakPages with requisite FileIns
I think that we need some kind of convention for how to associate
fileIns
with SqueakPages. For example, I'd like to create some SqueakPages that
contain MathMorphs (which, if you haven't already played with them, are
AMAZINGLY cool! Strongly recommended that you investigate them -- they
can
replace your workspace and browser!). But if anyone in a fresh image
tries
to read that page with MathMorphs on them, they're going to get an error
because those classes won't be defined.
I've thought of three mechanisms for dealing with this (certainly more
suggestions are welcome!):
(1) On the Web page referencing the book, also place a link to a fileIn
to
include.
(2) On the first page of the BookMorph, put a text area containing the
code
to fileIn. The user need just select the text and choose FileIn to get
the
code for the rest of the book.
(3) Put a button on the first page of a BookMorph which does the fileIn
across the network. (I tried to see if I could get URLmorphs to do
that,
but I couldn't figure out what URLmorphs do. Could someone who's using
them help me to understand what they're for? Thanks!)
What do you think?
