Creating objects for the Desktop

Opening an existing object

You can open an existing Desktop object and modify its picture or action definitions, or you can use an existing object as a template for defining a new object.

To open an existing object:

drop its icon on the Object Builder window, or
select Open Object from the File menu and then select the object from the file selection box. The object's icon and its action scripts are installed in the Object Builder window.

When you drop an object's icon on the Object Builder window, you are prompted to specify which component(s) to load. You can choose to load the picture only, the actions only, or both.

NOTE: Save the definitions for a new object by selecting Save As from the File menu. Use Save to save changes to the original object.
