Undoing "look like dot"

Hi,

We started teaching Squeak to some high school aged students last
week. Several of them used the "look like dot" action after they had
spent several minutes creating some cool looking cars. ( They just
wanted to see what the action did. ) Needless to say they were not
happy that their car really did look like a dot!

Is there some way to get back the objects previous "costume"??

Thanks.

In the "graphics" category, there's a "restoreBaseGraphic"
command.

HTH,

Problably, 'restoreBaseGraphic' might do the job. You can find it in the
graphics-categoy - right below 'look like dot'.

You're welcome.

Speaking of "look like dot", how might a feature like that
be put to use?

Thanks,

Randy

Paint two frames of an animation, put them in a holder, make an
animation by having a player look like the holder's player at cursor
and advance the cursor.
