Hi Edward
There are two possible solutions:
If you look at for example StringMorph, PolygonMorph or EllipseMorph and to
their "drawing" protocoll, you'll see they overwrite
areasRemainingToFill:
if you copy this method to the CrossMorph class, it will work as you want.
The reason for this is, the default morph uses its color to paint the whole
area and don't need
to care about the underlying area.
The second solution, as you may have seen from looking at the code in Morph
areasRemainingToFill:
is to use a transparent color ("Color transparent") for your morph (the
default color is "Color blue")
and use a different color actually for painting the cross.
(for example, you can add another instance variable "crossColor" and use
that one in the
drawOn: method.
