How do I copy an object from one project to another?
Thanks,
Mark
Hi, Mark,
Here are a few options for copying objects from project to project:
(1) Drag the object into the Supplies bin. You can then drag a fresh copy of it out from Supplies into any project any time you wish.
(2) Use "copy to paste buffer" ("copy & print" branch of an object's halo menu) to put a copy of the object into a special, invisible place called the "paste buffer." Then, to get a fresh copy in any project, bring up the desktop menu (shift-esc) and choose "new morph" ... "from paste buffer."
(3) You can also "park" your object in a "shared flap" such as the "Squeak" flap obtainable from the standard developers' variant of flaps -- or create your *own* shared flap, which can then be accessed from any project.
(4) You can also send a copy of any object to any project by simply using drag-and-drop. Drag the desired object over the project's icon, and drop it; when you see the message "GOT IT!" you'll know that the object has been copied to the other project; enter that project and you'll see the copy there.
Cheers,

There is a "copy to paste buffer" menu entry in the menu of the object's red halo handle (in the submenu "copy and print). Then switch projects, and choose "new morph..." - "from paste buffer". This is in the desktop menu, which you can bring up by pressing ESC.
Alternatively, drag a copy of the object into a shared flap, switch projects, and drag it out. You can (mis-) use the navigator flap for that, or better create your own (in the desktop menu, choose "flaps ...", "make a new flap").
