- If it is possible to construct the counter (one LedMorph, two SimpleButtomMorphs) without writing a single line of code, assuming that LedMorph already has "increment" and "decrement" menthods? I thought it was possible to do such a thing by creating the Led and buttoms from the "World>>new morph..." menu, and then sort of embed them to some AlignmentMorphs. But I couldn't figure a way out to do it.
1) Get an alignment morph, from "new morph..."
2) Grow the alignment morph by right-clicking (or command-clicking on Mac) to get the halo, then resize with the yellow handle.
3) get an LedMorph and some SimpleButtonMorphs on the desktop.
4) right-click on a button (or cmd-click on Mac) to bring up the halos, and click the red handle to bring up a menu. change the button's label and selector (increment, decrement, etc).
5) [this is the step that doesn't work for me anymore...] you should be able to pick up a button morph with the black halo handle, and move it on top of the LedMorph. When you look at the button's menu, it should have a new entry that allows you to set the button's target. However, it's not working for me anymore under 2.5 (running with a 2.4VM under LinuxPPC).
6) pick up & drop the LedMorph and buttons onto the alignment morph, and choose "embed..." from their menus.
