Just learning smalltalk & squeak. One of the first things I wanted to try was to load text into a scroll morph at the press of a button.
I renamed the Scrolling Text morph scroll. And I put the following code underneath button. Everything seems fine but the last line
The error I get back is that scroll is an unknown variable.
So my question is am I referencing the scroll morph correctly in the button script?
button | stream data | Transcript show: 'hello'.
"Read file into a string" stream _ FileStream fileNamed: 'test.txt'. data _ stream contentsOfEntireFile. stream close. Transcript show: data. scroll setCharacters: data.
Thanks in advance
