Every project needs a quick victory to create some momentum, so I've taken a slight detour from Sophie to Scratch. I've uploaded a player taken from Scratch to <a href="http://www.squeaksource.com/MultiMedia.html">http://www.squeaksource.com/MultiMedia.html</a>. (Writable to all)<div>
<br></div><div>You can load it into an updated 4.1 image. Then you can get a movie file to put on your desktop from here: </div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/uploads/1/castle.mpg.zip">http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/uploads/1/castle.mpg.zip</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>In a Workspace, you can enter:</div><div><br></div><div>MoviePlayerMorph new openInWorld</div><div><br></div><div>do it, and you'll get a player. Hit the "Open" button, find the "castle.mpg" you just downloaded, and you'll have something that looks like this:</div>
<div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.smalltalktelevision.com/player.jpg">http://www.smalltalktelevision.com/player.jpg</a></div><div><br></div><div>Then you can press "Play" and listen and watch the bird. To "Play" again you need to "Rewind" first.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The file is an MPEG1 Muxed. It is quite old and if this player can play anything else, I couldn't say. </div><div><br></div><div>It's a pretty humble beginning, but seeing as I posted the idea less than 48 hours ago, and now you're looking at a movie in 4.1, I think that's a solid start. </div>
