Brad,
I'm wondering why when you drop a JPG on the world it becomes a SketchMorph and not an ImageMorph.
Honestly, I hadn't even thought of dropping an image file onto the world. I had created a SketchMorph with the sketch editor at first. Eventually, after reading the same entry you just mentioned on the wiki, I changed my approached and subclassed ImageMorph, overriding the initialize method with a minor change that used my rubber ducky image as a form instead of the default image. In the end, I decided to go back and do a few more morphic tutorials using the immediate, incremental strategy (like the Counter Tutorial). I think this project is better suited for that way of programming, and I clearly need a better grip on Morphic. At least I have my ducks in a row now. :) Thanks a bunch, Mike On 2/5/07, Brad Fuller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

It is recommended on the squeak wiki that ImageMorph should be used instead of SketchMorph: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/1372 I'm wondering why when you drop a JPG on the world it becomes a SketchMorph and not an ImageMorph.
