EToyListenerMorph stopListening.

"
EToyListenerMorph listens for messgaes from other EToy communicators. You need one of these open to receive messages from elsewhere.
- Received Morphs are shown in a list. Items can be grabbed (a copy) or deleted.
- Chat messages are sent to an appropriate EToyChatMorph (created if necessary)

Remove the receiver as a submorph of its owner and make its new owner be nil.

step

Do some periodic activity. Use startStepping/stopStepping to start and stop getting sent this message. The time between steps is specified by this morph's answer to the stepTime message. The generic version dispatches control to the player, if any. The nasty circumlocation about owner's transformation is necessitated by the flexing problem that the player remains in the properties dictionary both of the flex and the real morph. In the current architecture, only the top renderer's pointer to the player should actually be honored for the purpose of firing.

descriptionForPartsBin

If the receiver is a member of a class that would like to be represented in a parts bin, answer the name by which it should be known, and a documentation string to be provided, for example, as balloon help. When the 'nativitySelector' is sent to the 'globalReceiver', it is expected that some kind of Morph will result. The parameters used in the implementation below are for documentation purposes only!
