Is there a way to move an object from one project into another project? For instance when I create a text object in the main world screen, I would like to be able to move it into a child object or the other way around.
Yes, by using flaps - these are global containers. For instance, the flap that contains Paint tool, Rectangle, Ellipse etc is a flag. Just drag your text object into this flap, switch to the target project and then pick and drop the text into the opened project.
If you need specific help, please include the version of your Squeak/Etoys.

Interesting. I always use the Squeak flap for this, the one with the animated trash can. Never occurred to me I could use any flap.

Subbu and Gary,
Cool. Thanks you. If I move the object into the Squeak tab I then can move it out of there from any project. However, if I move the object into the Tools tab, when I drag the object out it automatically makes a copy of it instead. This could be very helpful.
Thanks for all your help!

You also could make your own flap (see the flaps menu). If you enable its "parts bin" behavior then it will hand you a copy, otherwise it just grabs the object itself.
Btw we call the contents drawer a "flap" and the small handle its "tab".

You can also make the project contain a ProjectViewMorph of your destination project and than just send the player by dropping it in. Karl
