I really appreciate the discussions on doing a big
cleanup to the current squeak image.
As a beginner the current system is not fun to work
with, though i definitely wanted to do so.

In the past i was doing a lot of work with Flash
ActionScript, which is an ecma based scripting
language that provides loosely typed prototype-based oop.

In actionscript there is a class called MovieClip,
which seems to have a similar functionality as a morph.

Maybe it helps to take a look at the features of
MovieClips

Let me know, if i can help

With kind regards,
Ralf.
