> >I'm trying to sinchronize sound with animations implemented in morphic. There is a CurveMorph that changes its shape every 80 msecs or so (80 average, 300 max, 40 min) while a sound is playing. The problem is that the CurveMorph should be redrawn each time it changes. Right now I am doing 'self world displayWorld', but this seems to be very slow, and introduces pauses in the sound (the sound is being generated in real time, it grows while it's playing). Is there any alternative to displayWorld?

You start it by using the debug... itme in the world menu, and you stop it by moving hte mouse above the top of the screen.  If you can do this while your animation is running, you might learn something.  I'm willing to take a look at the report if you want help.  Or, if your app is simple, you oculd send it along, and I'll see if I can help.  I'm afraid our curves are kind of slow, but Balloon will eventually make them MUCH faster (and prettier).

Thanks, I'll try the spy. Anyway, I think I will not continue with the 2D stuff. What I am doing is synchronous speech synthesis and face animation. Last night I began to implement the Waters' muscles model in Squeak (from the book "Computer Facial Animation"). I am gettin a lot of fun.
