Problems with FlashPlayerWindow
by Prashanth Hebbar 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

Hello: I am trying to get a swf file opened in Squeak: 1. In Squeak 3.9, I do, open>file, and select the swf file from the relevant directory, I get a blank Flash Window Player opened. In Squeak 3.10 image: I get a editor window with junk characters. 2. I also tried reading the flash file using the FlashFileReader class by passing it to a local variable. On doing an inspect, I can see that the variable contains something but cannot find a way to display it. 3. I tried opening FlashPlayerMorph, FlashPlayerWindow from the new morph with no luck. When I drag and drop the swf file, all that happens is that a new empty player window appears and nothing else. I did a search on the mailing list and came across a similar question which had presumably gone unanswered. Can someone please help. Thanks in advance. - Prashanth

Hi Edgar, [switched the thread back to the list.] So, everything *on*the*machine* works as expected (and this includes Squeak :-) If you still can't reach the machine from outside then it must be so that you haven't obeyed the Goddess of network connectivity sometime in the recent past :) /Klaus On Tue, 06 Nov 2007 12:54:32 +0100, Edgar J.

Smalltalk & Javascript
by Ikem Nzeribe 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

Hi all ;-) I'm pretty new to Squeak, and am just trying to assess what I can do. I know there's a web browser for Squeak, but I was wondering if there is any way to handle Javascript in this environment at all? It seems not... is there a reason for that? I would love to run GoogleMaps from within the Squeak environment. If it is not implemented, what would it take to get it done? Cheers, ikem.star

win32ole for squeak
by ina tube 05 Nov '07

05 Nov '07

The Ruby language, which I used to use more frequently, before I found Squeak, has a nice package called win32ole for interacting with Windows applications via OLE Automation (now called COM Automation). Is there a similar facility for Squeak? I'm aware of the Squeak-DotNet bridge, but I find it simpler to simply call COM Auotmation, in the same way that Ruby users do with win32ole and that Perl users do with Win32::OLE. Thanks, Paul -- _______________________________________________ Get your free email from http://mail.doramail.com Powered by Outblaze

I have ordered collections of things without duplicates and with an index 1...N for each, ideally with operations like move: anExistingElement to: anExistingPosition What should I use? I could not find an OderedSet?

How do different "package"-like things relate
by itsme213 04 Nov '07

04 Nov '07

I see package-like things in many places: - Universe Browser - Monticello Browser - SqueakMap Browser Do all these have the same notion of a package, and the same source for their packages? I am a bit confused because I see some "package"-like instances in one browser that don't seem to match what I see in the others. Thanks.

Help with simple customization of Inspector window
by itsme213 04 Nov '07

04 Nov '07

I want the title of my Inspector window to use #printOn: on the target object (like the Explorer window does), rather than just show the name of the class. I've poked around and cannot figure out what I should change. Any clues / hints appreciated :-) Also, is printOn: the right one to override for this kind of thing? I am simply trying to customize how my objects appear in most of the development tools. Thanks.

Question / Thought about absence of any standard online help
by itsme213 02 Nov '07

02 Nov '07

Is there some reason why the myriad tools in Squeak don't have even a placeholder button or menu item for online help? From my newbies point of view it is very frustrating to try to do something (refactor to extract a method with a parameter, most recently) and be confronted with a totally new editor (Selector editor, in this case) and not have any idea about what the panels and buttons mean (Up? Down? Ok?). I finally figured it out, but it took 15 minutes of blind trial and error. It is very disheartening and a huge hurdle for someone who wants to get started with Squeak. Shouldn't online help be a standard part of any IDE framework, making it easy for tool writers to add a few lines of online help in a standard way? Perhaps include some url links? Heck, if the tool even had a standard link (e.g. on SystemWindow) to a standard place on a Squeak wikis, anyone (even me) could contribute to the help. And yes, I know that getting those lines written is a separate matter.
