[Squeakland] rolling square challenge

[Nicholas Bennett]

randy,

You can 'embed' the circle into the square, its one of the halo menu 
choices.

Once the circle is embedded any movement scripts executed on the circle are 
in the squares coordinate system - so you can build Spiro graph style 
things.

If you move the circle outside of the 'draw area' of the square you can no 
longer 'pick' it with the mouse. I think this makes it hard to take full 
advantage of the embed capability.

regards,
nicholas
