duplicates and siblings
by Rita Freudenberg 14 Apr '11

14 Apr '11

Hi, I'm working on the Etoys reference manual right now, and on one place I want to describe the difference between sibling and duplicate. I hope someone here can help me. Here is what I wrote, is this correct? (the green double boxes refer to the green halo icon). ------------------ The green double boxes in the top right duplicates the object. If you hold down the shift key you will create a sibling object. There is a difference between siblings and duplicates. At the moment of creation, it is the same, you will get a copy of the object and all it's scripts. But if you later change an existing script of the original object, the same script of the siblings will change automatically, too. The same script of the duplicates will stay the same as of the moment of the duplication. Thanks, Rita

Bert, Can you explain to Justin about the Etoys plug-in so he can understand how it works and incorporate into OER Glue?

How can I cause a script to be executed on an object when I click on it? (Beyond MouseDown)
by Steve Thomas 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

For example, I want to some buttons to transform a costume or set an objects color and I want to click on the button and then be able to click on an object (or set of objects) and run a particular script on the objects I click on. I could program each object to perform a particular action on Mouse Down, but I would rather write the script once and then have that script execute on the object I click. I was able to achieve this by using a Player variable watcher and then having a constantly running script that tests if the myPlayer != dot and if so, run the script on the Player variable value, then reset to dot. But besides looking ugly (the dot always shows) I can only run on one object at a time then have to click on the Player variable's watcher. Thanks, Stephen

SQ-903 - Object displayed name does not always match name used to refer to object in scripts
by Steve Thomas 28 Mar '11

28 Mar '11

See: http://tracker.squeakland.org/browse/SQ-903 If you change the name of an object, the name used to reference it in a script (via show code textually) does not change. So how do I reference the name of the player (as displayed on the screen) in a script? script4 | t1 t2 p1 selector | p1 := Text3. t1 := Command1 getCharacters. t2 := 5. selector := (t1 , ':') asSymbol. p1 perform: selector with: t2 In this above example I had a Text object where the screen showed its name (on page 2) as Text3, but when I used its characters tile in another Text object's script, it used the name Text4 in the text version of that script?

layout bug with connectors
by Markus Schlager 24 Mar '11

24 Mar '11

Hi all, I'm using Etoys 4.1.1. When I tell a connector to add a label (using the add-label-tile), I get black fonts on *black* background. Should be white or transparent. It works using the menu, though. Markus

Did you move it to /usr/local/share and rename? That's not a good idea, because the to-go version is set up to write its files next to its install location. Normally that is a USB stick, but your home directory would work as well. /usr/local won't work because it is write-protected. > > You're right, but it works fine.
