Point Substitution SECTION 4 Objects
72
When performing alignment operations, the Master Object determines how the
other objects are aligned. The Master Object, i.e. the last object clicked on,
has green sizing handles.
1, 2, 3… To align objects:
1. Select the objects to be aligned.
2. Ensure the correct master object is selected.
3. Choose the appropriate tool from the Alignment toolbar.
The alignment operations available at any one time vary according to the
number of objects selected.
4-5-14 Zoom
It is often useful to be able to view an object in more detail. The Zoom option
allows selected objects to be magnified up to four times their normal size.
To enlarge an area of the screen, choose the View menu and select Zoom.
Then select the required magnification factor: Off, 2 or 4.
A specific object can be zoomed in on by selecting that object and then
performing the procedures described above.
4-6 Point Substitution
This feature allows the points associated with one or more objects to be
changed 'en mass'. This can make reusing page objects, either by using copy
and paste or the Graphics Objects Library, simpler and quicker.
The Point Substitution dialog box is shown automatically after inserting a
library item, or on-demand by right clicking on an object or objects and
choosing 'Point Substitution', or from the Edit menu.
4-6-1 Example
In this example a button has been created which has a Colour Change
animation and a script. Both are linked to 'PointA'. After performing a copy and
past on the item the Point Substitution dialog box can be used to choose the
points that should be re-linked. Clicking the Browse button will allow a new
point to be selected. Clicking OK will now replace all instances of 'PointA' with
'PointB' and then recompile the button animations and scripts.
