alice-teacher Importing / Exporting Objects

[Don Slater]

See these two videos on basic importing and exporting of classes in Alice 3.1.92.0.0 and following versions…

This first is a basic overview and explanation of a simple export and import of a class (essentially for a student wanting to export a class from one project for use in another project by the same student.)

The second is a a demonstration of how to import a class created by another student into an Alice project by a second student… (in this case the ScoreKeeper and Timer classes)

Please let me know if you have any questions…

All the best,
Don Slater

> 3. Copy the scorekeeper.a3c and the timer.a3c files into the MyClasses directory.
> 4. Start Alice 3.
> 5. Open the project you wish to use the timer / scorekeeper in, or create a new project.
> 6. Go to the Scene Editor.
> 7. Click on the My Classes tab in the Gallery.
> 8. Hopefully, you should see the scorekeeper and timer, ready to be added to your project.

> Scorekeeper.a3c and Timekeeper.a3c had the same error message, "Incorrect File Type", when I tried to open them on my MacBook Pro with OS10.8.5 using Alice 3.1.93. The file extension my projects have is .a3p; could you send those projects using that same file format, so that I can open them.
