Hi, Randy -
Greetings! The "holder's player at cursor" tiles can be found in the "collections" category of the holder's viewer. (You may have been looking in the "playfield" category...sorry if that was the case).
Yes, that was *really awkward* previously when dropping frames to a holder -- I think we have Andreas to thank for that fix!
As for the scrollbars...interesting idea -- "guys" -- what do you think about this??? cheers and thanks for continuing to play! Kim

Hi Squeakers! I just went to Squeakland, downloaded updates, and was experimenting with creating a simple animation - per the "Powerful Ideas..." book and Squeakfest tutorial. It seems there is no longer a "Holder's playerAtCursor" tile in a Holder's viewer. Is that true? What do I do?
I was pleased to see that dropping frames into the Holder is no longer plagued with the annoying problem of having to put the cursor in "just the right position". In fact, it seems that the behavior of a Holder is more dynamic than what I remember from Squeakfest, in that it resizes according to how many frames you drop in and allows for easy rearranging of frames - or maybe those features were already there and I didn't realize it. Although I didn't really push it, I'm wondering, if I drop in so many frames that the Holder exceeds the size of my world/screen, will the Holder automatically reveal scrollbars? (It would be nice :)
Thanks, Randy
