- Hi Ned,

Once again, thank you very much!!  

Now my Morph seems to be working fine.  The only thing is that, for some
reason, its being displayed as a blue rectangle in the ObjectsTool.
What shall I do for it to be presented with a little icon of its
picture?


Best,

Leo

If you want to work with the Objects tool, you need=20
descriptionForPartsBin and newStandAlone, and/or=20
supplementaryPartsDescriptions. See the class comment on ObjectsTool.=20
initializeForStandAlone is also used for the "sample instance" menu=20
choice from browsers if you have a descriptionForPartsBin.

I think you can skip authoringPrototype; it appears to just be used=20
for building some of the standard flaps. The default implementation=20
in Morph is to do a "new", but I don't think you'll find it called on=20
your own code.
