one problem i having (in a long line).. is that my DateAndTime class >> now looks like this: now ^ self basicNew ticks: (Duration days: SqueakEpoch hours: 0 minutes: 0 seconds: self totalSeconds nanoSeconds: MillisecondClockOffset milliSeconds * NanosInMillisecond) ticks offset: self localOffset; yourself the problem is, milliseconds is not defined anywhere.. this is there as a remnant of sheduler.. i need to replace it with the REAL one: now ^ self basicNew ticks: (Array with: SqueakEpoch with: Time totalSeconds with: 0) offset: self localTimeZone offset the problem is that when i try to update "now", i keep getting the error for that it can't find "milliSeconds".. when i delete "now" and try to paste the correct one in.. i error out, too.. i think the snake is eating its tail.. can i replace the "now" method somehow with the image not running? thanks! -- ---- peace, sergio photographer, journalist, visionary http://www.CodingForHire.com http://www.coffee-black.com http://www.painlessfrugality.com http://www.twitter.com/sergio_101 http://www.facebook.com/sergio101
