I have to admit that I also mostly missed the point of "Play with me 6"
the first time I tried it awhile back. The next time I happened to try
it a few weeks later I realized that the component morphs were somehow
driving the content of the browser, but I had difficulty trying to create
my own similar example (the ComponentLayout problem, plus it took quite
awhile to figure out to shift-click on the "pin" in order to create a Wire
morph).
Probably just having a scrolling text morph sitting below the "Play with
me 6" browser with just a few short paragraphs explaining how to create
and link example ComponentMorphs would clear things up. ("Play with me 6"
is a little more advanced than the other ones, after all.) Maybe I'll
even write something up short and post it... it's too late tonight,
though.
