(You can also press Ctrl+D if you prefer using the keyboard.)<br> This duplicates the object, including all property settings and all event scripts. All object references duplicated are absolute, not relative.</li> </ol> <p>To duplicate an object using relative references, use "this" instead of the object's name. As an example, we will create a button object that on mouseover changes it's text to "mouse", and on mouseout changes it's text to "cat":</p> <ol> <li>Insert the following code into the On Enter event of your button:<br> <code> Button.SetText(this, "Mouse");<br> <br> </code></li> <li>Insert the following code into the On Leave event of your button:<br> <code> Button.SetText(this, "Cat");<br> </code><br> When this object is duplicated, the new object's text will change, and leave the original's text intact.</li> </ol> <p>KEYWORDS: AutoPlay Media Studio 5.0, Object, Duplicate, Copy </p> <hr> <FONT SIZE=1> Last reviewed: October 1, 2003<br> Copyright © 2003 <A HREF="http://www.indigorose.com" target="blank">Indigo Rose Corporation</a>.
