[squeakland] how to hide ALL connectors to/from a specific node in the Connectors package?

[Lawson English]

I'll try again:

I have 19 Connectors nodes showing in my project.

There are 19 x 18 connectors -a fully connected graph.

I want to be able to easily tell all connectors to hide using Etoys 
scripting. I already know how to do this with Squeak, but it isn't 
obvious at all how to make it work with etoys, despite the existence of 
a scripting option "tellAllIncomingConnections" and 
"tellAllOutgoingConnections"

I can't figure it out.

I've dropped down into the System browser and looked at the Smalltalk 
code for

#tellAllIncomingConnections: aMessageSelector

and

#tellAllOutgoingConnections: aMessageSelector

     "Send the given message selector to all the players of the 
receiver's costume's outgoing connections"

     self costume outgoingConnections do:
         [:m |
             m playerRepresented ifNotNilDo:
                 [:p | p performScriptIfCan: aMessageSelector]]

I've even tried putting ^#hide into the script.


Is this aspect of Connectors + Etoys broken or am I missing something?

I can specify a SPECIFIC Connector to hide, but I have potentially 19 x 
18 or even 256 x 255 of them to work with, so obviously this isn't an 
option.

Do I have to go with my incredibly cumbersome code I worked out in my 
Squeak youtube tutorials and stick that into a script, instead?





Thanks.
