[Squeakland] joining objects

[Alan Kay]

Joining is done by embedding.

Objects can be set to automatically embed dropped objects (see red halo 
menu). Playfields are already set that way. So a transparent playfield can 
hold many objects. If the objects are made sticky, then ordinary mouse 
clicks will not pick them up (but atl-clicks will still get the halo). If 
the objects are locked, then they will be indifferent to the mouse (and 
will have to be unlocked to be accessed). Finally, if you drop any object 
on any other object, you can embed it via the embed button in the red halo 
menu. The popup will give you choices if there are various stacked objects 
to choose as the holder, etc.

Cheers,

Alan
