Linking projects

Hey guys,

Is there a way to link projects together? Or to make a link to a project from within another project. Kinda like hyperlinks in web pages? I am sure I have seen this before but trolled the archives and can't find anything.

Thanks

Regards

Kelly

Kelly,

From within any project when you create a new project using the ‘new’ button within the ‘Navigator’ flap you get a thumbnail of any empty project. This is the squeak ‘hyperlink’. If you clik on this thumbnail you will be in the new project. Linking arbitrary projects is most easly done using the project history tool. If you drag an ‘object catalog’ out of the supplies flap and click on the ‘navigation’ button you will see the ProjectHistory thumbnail. Drag this onto your desktop and you will get a list of all your projects. Like everything in Squekland, this list is ‘alive’, so you can immediately click on any project and you will be taken there. If you want a separate link for a particular project just drag the project out of the project history and you will get a thumbnail ‘hyperlink’ that will take you to that project when you clik on it. It’s truly beautiful and very simple. Hope this helps.

cheers,

Tim Andrews

The link that Randy points to below discusses how to use Squeak Etoy projects as "better than Powerpoint" slides.

But there are three other ways to make links to projects. As usual, the UI could combine this better .... there could be better documentation ...

1. Look at the submenu New Morph from the world menu. The last item is Make link to Project. This will give you a list of all the projects in your image and choosing from this list will give you a thumbnail of the project that can be resized and used.

2. Any player can be a button. Go to "Extras" in the World menu and choose "Mouse Up Action". In here you can type any Squeak expression. The one you want here to e.g. go to a project named Gas Tank is: (Project named: 'Gas Tank') enter: false. This will produce a surrounding rollover frame and will take you to the named project on mouse up.

3. You can take any text object and choose part of it to make a hyperlink. Suppose you have "go here to see this" and you want to sensitize "here". Type
"go here<(Project named: 'Gas Tank') enter: false> to see this". Select "here<(Project named: 'Gas Tank') enter: false>". Alt (or control if you are on a Mac) 6 will bring up a menu for text options. "Choose Do It". The result will be "go here to see this" with the "here" colored blue, pressing on this will execute the Squeak expression "(Project named: 'Gas Tank') enter: false" and will take you there.

Cheers,

Alan

Wow!

But how can I 'publish' (and later 'find') all linked projects?

(No, I don't want to create a new image!)

Uwe
