Ross --
Moving an object to a global flap and then into another project is supposed to be the same as a move (no new object is created).
Cheers,

I just discovered that the semantics of moving things between projects by dropping them in a project view appears to be a (deep) copy. In contrast, dropping them on flaps looks at first blush like a move.
I haven't fully traced through or cleaned up things, but I thought I'd warn others who might be thinking of the same maneuver.
Visually, dropping something into a project creates a copy, since the original remains in the current project. So the hints are all there, but in my case hope and expectation triumphed over what was in front of my face. So I had a bunch of windows up, each referring to the same underlying data. After I moved them, I had many copies of the underlying data.
Since this is a warning, not a warranty, I'll say that I'm not sure that moving a bunch of morphs to the flap, and then into a different project, will avoid this problem.
