Dear Squeak community!
My task is to design a simpilified animation of a mobilphone by using Squeak. The task menu of the dummy works yet fine. I have several special questions about interactive entry of data, which the user should feed into my dummy (like writing a SMS or storing a cellphone number...)
1) how can I let delete one single character (like the last accepted one) in button animated text fields by using button scripts/animations?
2) how can I let assign several characters (like m, n, o) to one single button? My idea is to accept the first character of the series if the button is clicked for the first time; if the same button is clicked once again immediately, the cursor of the text field should go back one step, delete the last character of the line an "overwrite" it with the second character of the series an so on - until a time limit of no interaction is recognised which fixes the data. how could I design such a prodecure by using Squeak?
3) how to change the type of characters (button animated text fields), so that new data is using this type? My idea was to change the main type by changing the "default text fonts". This turned out well for all inscriptions, instead of new button animated entry of characters into the related text field, mhh.
If anyone knowed helpful devices, I would be glad about a mail! Thanks very much!
