What happened to the other topic? Did you delete it?

Yes, I did I finished working on the  delete movie player part, after this part my mod should be complete, and yes, I will give credit

You shouldn't delete it, you're subverting the knowledge sharing concept of an online community like this. Plus, Scratch source code license forces you to openly share the source code, so there was no reason to delete the topic.

He probably didn't want it cluttering up the forums, and it looked kinda like he was a newb because of that.

bump

You have to have your own website with a file called news.txt on it. When the application starts, you should display a dialog that reads text from yoursite.com/news.txt and displays it. If you need anything in more detail ask sparks or NxIII

As for the location of #openScratchFrame, probaly in scratchUI-panes > scratchframe. Search around there. I'm updating my Mac to OSX Lion right now, so I'll check when I'm done.

Glad to be of help!!!

You don't have to bump every half hour.
In Panther, it's at Scratch-UI-Dialogs -> NewsDialog.

How do I make it run at startup?
And how to I change the url for the news dialog?

4. Under the text self newScratchProject, insert the following code:

Code:

self newsDialog.

5. Right click > accept.
6. Now go back to ScratchFrameMorph > menus/buttons actions.
7. Replace the text shown on screen with the following code:

Code:

newsDialog
     | t1 t2 |
     t1 _ (HTTPSocket httpGet: 'TXT') contents.
     t2 _ DialogBoxMorph inform: t1 title: 'News'

(Replace TXT with the text file url)
8. Right click > accept.
9. Close broswer and save image for end user.
10. Open scratch and it should be working!

self newsDialog.?

do you have the code so it changes the url when updated?

And the code that asks for the new url (In dialog) then sets it to that?

No, that code juts has a url that cannot be changed, I need the code that's like this:

I can do that if you tell me how to insert the value of a variable into that method from another method.

OK, I got the code for that, here it is

first add this to scratch UI panes>ScratchFrameMorph
change this:

Morph subclass: #ScratchFrameMorph
    instanceVariableNames: 'topPane  viewerPane scriptsPane stageFrame workPane titlePane libraryPane menuPanel stageButtonsPanel readoutPane logoMorph projectTitleMorph flagButton fillScreenFlag paintingInProgress projectDirectory projectName projectInfo author loginName loginPassword watcherPositions shuffledCostumeNames justSaved viewModeButtons viewMode lastViewMode viewModeButtonsPanel toolbarPanel lastWeDoPoll '
    classVariableNames: 'AllowSharing Clipboard DefaultNotes DefaultSprite Fonts FontsXO IsXO ScratchServers ScratchSkin ScratchSkinXO ShareServer ShareServerPath SupportServer SupportServerPath TakeOverScreen UseErrorCatcher Version VersionDate VisibleDrives WorkpaneExtent '
    poolDictionaries: ''
    category: 'Scratch-UI-Panes'

to this:

Morph subclass: #ScratchFrameMorph
    instanceVariableNames: 'topPane url viewerPane scriptsPane stageFrame workPane titlePane libraryPane menuPanel stageButtonsPanel readoutPane logoMorph projectTitleMorph flagButton fillScreenFlag paintingInProgress projectDirectory projectName projectInfo author loginName loginPassword watcherPositions shuffledCostumeNames justSaved viewModeButtons viewMode lastViewMode viewModeButtonsPanel toolbarPanel lastWeDoPoll '
    classVariableNames: 'AllowSharing Clipboard DefaultNotes DefaultSprite Fonts FontsXO IsXO ScratchServers ScratchSkin ScratchSkinXO ShareServer ShareServerPath SupportServer SupportServerPath TakeOverScreen UseErrorCatcher Version VersionDate VisibleDrives WorkpaneExtent '
    poolDictionaries: ''
    category: 'Scratch-UI-Panes'

then hit accept.
After that for the news dialog:

newsDialog
    | t1 t2 |
    t1 _ (HTTPSocket httpGet: url) contents.
    t2 _ DialogBoxMorph inform: t1 title: 'News'

and to set it:

method: t1
ask dialog code here
url _ t1
code not tested yet.
