Hi, I am looking for a way to export a script in one project so that it can be used in another project. I looked for contextual menus and googled it, but found no solution yet. Can anyone tell me if it is possible?
Also, I have another question about using a movie file in etoy. In one of the demo projects that comes with etoy (a free-fall experiment), I found a set of JPEG images imported from a movie file. Does etoy can save selected frames from a movie as image files? If not, what is the best way to create image files from a movie file so that they can be used in etoy?
Thank you so much!!!

Scripts are a part of a Player and you bring it along when you for example copy and paste a Player. ( ctrl+c and ctrl+v )
Or put the Player in a global flap and pull it out and put it into the you want.
These procedures are not well documented at the moment.

Can someone add this to the wiki "Secrets" page?

Moving forward, please add helpful tips as you find them there, until we have a clearer place to put them.
Thanks, Tim

Like Karl wrote, a script is tied to its player (player's uniclass, really). One thing you can do is, to turn the "debugHaloHandle" preference on, get the halo of the object and from the gray debug menu, choose "save morph in file" to create a .morph file. It saves the morph's player altogether. Later you can load it from "find any file" or dragging the .morph file from Explorer/Finder to the Squeak window.
For Supplies Bin, there is a machinary to save all the user defined objects but there is no simple UI; If you know what to type as Smalltalk expression for the Supplies bin, you can do it.
Also, I have another question about using a movie file in etoy. In one of the demo projects that comes with etoy (a free-fall experiment), I found a set of JPEG images imported from a movie file. Does etoy can save selected frames from a movie as image files? If not, what is the best way to create image files from a movie file so that they can be used in etoy?
If the movie file in the format supported by the MPEGMoviePlayer or GStreamerMoviePlayer, getting out frames programatically can be done. Otherwise, I'd use an external tool... Could be a Windows Movie Maker or iMovie but can be cumbersome. Does anybody have a better idea?

We should in my opinion have a internal conversion of video to Holder. (and Holder to video) But such a feature would need work: Make it possible to select a short sequence of the video for conversion. Set frame rate and frame size and possibility to crop out a selection of the video.
Another issue: Where are copy and paste menu items when in Etoy mode ??
