What he means is that the procedure belongs to a class.
A biped class.

OK, I see it now... that video shows moving procedures from one project into another. He says "into a class that may or may not already exist" (in the importing project). But, so far, I haven't seen a way to make a new class, so this technique doesn't _create_ classes (as I had expected).
That said, *is there* a way to make my own classes?

Thanks again,
Phil

Thank you for your responses.
I should have included the link to the tutorial in my previous email. Here it is now:

Adam, I misspoke when I said that I'm using "Export"; I'm using "Save to Class File" (screenshot attached, if the mailing list let's it in). For me, though, it doesn't provide me with an option to name the class.
James,
The link in this message is to the tutorial I originally watched. It certainly _seems_ to apply to Alice 3.(If I'm reading his title bar correctly, it identifies itself as Alice 3.1.
All,
Could this option have existed in early versions of Alice 3, and been removed?
Thanks,
Phil

Hi Phil,
Welcome aboard and Alice 3 is a great choice. I would like to see the tutorial you are using as I am unfamiliar with an 'Export' option for a class.
I used Save to Class File extensively when we enhanced classes' properties, functions, and procedures which has a naming allowance for the new class.
Also, are you making brand new classes or modifying existing?
Thanks

Greetings, all!

This is my first post, having just joined the mailing list. I looked through the archives, but didn't find anything related to my question.
I'm new to Alice3, having started with it for the purpose of homeschooling my girls in programming. I'm an experienced OOP programmer, mostly C++ these days.

I want to create my own class, the properties and methods of which would be available to other classes. I found a tutorial online, which purports to do this. One of the important steps of that method is to Export my object, *with a new name*. But, while I'm able to export my object, the Export dialog doesn't provide a "rename" option. What am I missing?

Thanks,
Phil
