Thanks for the suggestions re: large sketches. Now I have another new user-ish type question. I have seen in some projects an "About" tab that expands when clicked to reveal information about a project. How do you do that?
Just a few points about Flaps. The name is very misleading ;-). If you think of a project world as the floor with objects in them, Flaps are like wall cabinets/drawers/lockers. They are an advanced concept in Morphic programming but very useful in practice.
* Flaps are operated through 'Flap Tabs' (again misleadingly named) - the tiny label you see sticking to the edge of the screen. These tabs act like cabinet/drawer handles. * they 'stick' to the screen and are not embedded in the project's world (i.e. they are not part of world's submorphs) unlike other morphs you see within the project. * they are global. So they can be used to hold objects while copying them from one project to another.
HTH .. Subbu
