html parser..
by sergio_101 12 Apr '10

12 Apr '10

was wondering if there was any place where you can find tutorials on the html parser here: http://www.squeaksource.com/htmlcssparser.html i have been messing with it a bit.. but it just seems like if there were any documentation on it at all, it would be much easer to understand.. is there someplace that i am totally missing that houses documentation, tutorials, and examples for this stuff? it seems like i spend alot of time going through code to figure out how to use something.. thanks! -- ---- peace, sergio photographer, journalist, visionary http://www.coffee-black.com http://www.painlessfrugality.com http://www.twitter.com/sergio_101 http://www.facebook.com/sergio101

last n entries of an OrderedCollection
by sergio_101 12 Apr '10

12 Apr '10

wondering of there is a built in function to spit out the last n entires of an ordered collection.. in a pinch, this worked: | ipcount newList | ipcount := self repository size. newList := OrderedCollection new. (ipcount - anInteger) to: ipcount do: [ :n | newList add: (self repository at: n) ]. but i am guessing that is a total kludge... thanks! -- ---- peace, sergio photographer, journalist, visionary http://www.coffee-black.com http://www.painlessfrugality.com http://www.twitter.com/sergio_101 http://www.facebook.com/sergio101

Drag and Drop - strange problem
by FrankBz 10 Apr '10

10 Apr '10

hi, I'm facing a strange problem in my program. Basically I have this morph which acts as a receiver of other morphs that can be dropped on it. The behavior I want is: drag a morph on the receiver and once you drop it a method is executed and then the dropped morph disappears. This was exactly how it worked, until I decided to add a morph at initialization time ( a PasteUpMorph with a Sketch that I use as background image) . After addMorph: is executed the dropped morphs do not disappear anymore, instead they remain on the receiver morph and the method is not executed at all (just like the morph wasn't been dropped). Does anyone know the reason behind this strange behavior? thanks in advance -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Drag-and-Drop-strange-problem-tp1819682p1819682.html Sent from the Squeak - Beginners mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

button to control layers in morph hierarchy
by Lawson English 08 Apr '10

08 Apr '10

OK, first message appeared not to send. Apologies if this is a repeat: I'm trying to use a button to tell a morph to "go behind" another morph. I.E., tell a text morph to go behind a sketch morph (and the other way round). the text morph doesn't seem to understand #sendToBack. What am I missing? Thanks. Lawson

Installing packages - not!
by DeNigris Sean 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

Squeak gurus (I'll have to appeal to the gods next), I was living the the personal dynamic media dream - new Squeak image, every object alive and available, the digital world was my oyster... until I tried to load some packages... I just spent a half a day (with much appreciated support from IRC) trying to install packages - and failed at almost every one: I wanted to install Scamper, but the SqueakMap Package Loader seems to be broken on the current Squeak (downloaded 4.0 from squeak.org). No prob, I'll download metacello from squeaksource - no dice, error there too. Gofer seemed to download okay, but failed some of it's unit tests. Now, I just found the "Package Universe Browser," which I never even heard of before (and I've read every book, wiki, bathroom wall, etc. related to Squeak), but doesn't seem to have any of the latest versions. So much time went by that I actually forgot what I was doing to begin with - oh yeah scamper... I went directly to squeaksource and was totally confused because there were several packages there with no explanation (that I could find) about what each one was, or did, or whether it was even necessary or optional or merely related), so I started loading packages from the Scamper page at random via Monticello Browser, and... it didn't work: Scamper open. -> Error. It was only after a pointer from IRC that I found a different Scamper project that installed okay. I finally got Shout to install after trying 2 or 3 ways, but no matter what I did, I couldn't seem to install OCompletion. What am I missing/what is the first choice way to install packages in Squeak? Especially basic developer tools like code-completion and syntax highlighting? Thanks. Sean DeNigris

Gofer, Metacello
by Bruce Prior 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

Is there a brief tutorial somewhere that describes Gofer and Metacello? I went to SqueakSource and I see that all the files in Metacello are "Configurationof<Filename>." I am familiar with Monticello and repositories but Gofer and Metacello seem to have crept up on me unawares. There is nothing in Squeak Wiki about them. Thanks in advance for your help.
