The event editor contains a lot of popup menus : they provide a very quick access to a lot of functions. In this page we will describe all the menus.
The objects bar menu
You obtain this menu by right-clicking on one of the objects in the objects bar.
| Hide | Hides the object from the display. Use this option if you have a lot of objects : the objects are stored in another hidden folder. A special icon appears on the right of the objects bar to get the object back, or you can use the next option. |
| Insert hidden object | Opens a dialog for you to choose between the hidden objects. |
| Insert object folder | The object folders are handy ways to classify the objects in the bar. Choose this option and it will create two brackets at the location where you clicked. Now you are free to drag & drop objects in between these brackets. Drop as many as you want. Once done, a double click on one of the brackets will close the folder : all the objects are now safe in the folder. To open the folder back, just double click on it. |
| Replace by another object | When you select this option, it opens a new dialog for you to choose another object. Only the objects of the same type as the selected object are displayed. Choose an object and click OK : the event editor will replace all the occurrences of the first object by the second object, in both the actions and the conditions. Very handy to replace an object by another one. |
| Delete any action in column | The option will do as stated : it will delete all the actions in the column. For example, you want to get rid of all the samples and sounds, choose this option for the Speaker object. |
| Display properties | Displays the properties of the object in the property toolbar. If the property toolbar was closed, it is opened. |
| Open behavior | If the object contains behaviors, this submenu allows you to open the behavior event editor to edit the content of the behavior. |
| Hide objects with qualifiers | This option is only available for qualifiers. All the objects bearing this qualifier will be hidden, but the qualifier will remain visible. Handy when you have a lot of objects responding to one qualifier. |
