Hi

I want to do a small game based on the FlasherMorph. I change its location via the step method so that it crosses the screen

I redefined the methods handleMouseDown: to return true

Also, I think you wanted to overwrite

Morph >> handlesMouseDown: anEvt instead of Morph >> handleMouseDown: anEvt

...

mouseDown: to toggle the direction

Now I tried to increase the speed when the user lets the mouse on the morph. There is a handleMouseOver: but no method mouseOver:. What is the idiom to get the mouseOver behavior?

Look at mouseEnter and mouseLeave Karl

...

I also tried to handle keystroke evt so I redefined handlesKeyboard: return true and keystroke: to analyse the hit key

But the morph to not get the key event. The browser still gets the event

I'm sure I missed something. Any hint?

You should embed the FlasherMorph in some other playfield-morph, (put it in an instance-variable myFlasherMorph for easy referencing) and overwrite in that embedding PlaygroundMorph also following:

PlaygroundMorph >> handlesMouseDown: anEvt ^true

and

PlaygroundMorph >> mouseEnter: anEvt anEvt hand newKeyboardFocus: myFlasherMorph

Best,

Markus

So far this is a nice simple project in etoys ...

Cheers,

Alan

You need to tell the Hand to set keyboard focus to you in your mouseEnter: method (and release it in your mouseLeave: method).

How do you respond to mouse events in etoys?

I'm sorry, I meant keyboard events. He wanted to change speed when a key was hit.
