randy,
You can 'embed' the circle into the square, its one of the halo menu choices.
Once the circle is embedded any movement scripts executed on the circle are in the squares coordinate system - so you can build Spiro graph style things.
If you move the circle outside of the 'draw area' of the square you can no longer 'pick' it with the mouse. I think this makes it hard to take full advantage of the embed capability.
regards, nicholas

I have a square sketch that rolls: Square turn by amt1 Square's x increase by amt2
I'd like to have another sketch - say, a tiny circle, that remains fixed at a corner of the rolling square and traces out a pen path. Is there an elegant Squeak solution for doing this that I'm missing?
