Hello, I just installed Squeak on Ubuntu Karmic. I'd like to find a way of making web pages made of various graphics. Say I get wild with my niece one afternoon and we draw and make animations with Squeak, and family picture albums and all kinds of things graphic that do things (and that fit into a web page). Apparently I can save this as a "project". (By the way, I have no idea where my doodles ended up on my Linux, still looking for them. How do I save those projects and can I insert them into a web page (and of course, keep the animations and such). I'd be very thankful to get an idea of whether this is at all possible. Thank you very much in advance, --Pascale
Hi Pascale,
PJ> "project". (By the way, I have no idea where my doodles ended up on my PJ> Linux, still looking for them.
search for pr files in your file system. Dunno about Linux, in Windows I get a folder selector when I select "Save project on file". So maybe you never saved any project and they all live in your squeak image.

Squeak is available as a web browser plugin. To see how this all works look at Etoys at www.squeakland.org . Select "Tutorials" "Interactive demos" and then any demo. This will download the etoys VM and image on your computer and start Etoys a plugin in your browser.
Nearly nobody (except Squeakers) have it but then Squeak runs inside the browser. Etoys is Squeak based and if it weren't for the many recent changes in Squeak I'd say vou just have to replace the Etoys image and changes with your image and changes files.
OTOH what you are doing looks like it also could be done in Etoys. And you can "jailbreak" Etoys to have the full Squeak environment.

If you want to put them on a web page to exhibit your work you might want to create a flash movie. This should be a example ... I can't watch it in FreeBSD because Flash 10 is not yet supported:

You could place the .pr file along side, so that other can download it and open it in Squeak.
To make a project, create a new project first, then click in its window to make it the current project, then doodle away. It is harder to turn doodles into projects, but it can be done.
