  Like Karl wrote, a script is tied to its player (player's uniclass,
really).  One thing you can do is, to turn the "debugHaloHandle"
preference on, get the halo of the object and from the gray debug
menu, choose "save morph in file" to create a .morph file.  It saves
the morph's player altogether.  Later you can load it from "find any
file" or dragging the .morph file from Explorer/Finder to the Squeak
window.

  For Supplies Bin, there is a machinary to save all the user defined
objects but there is no simple UI;  If you know what to type as
Smalltalk expression for the Supplies bin, you can do it.

  If the movie file in the format supported by the MPEGMoviePlayer or
GStreamerMoviePlayer, getting out frames programatically can be done.
Otherwise, I'd use an external tool...  Could be a Windows Movie Maker
or iMovie but can be cumbersome.  Does anybody have a better idea?
