What is the difference between Clone, Duplicate, and Copy in MMF2 in regards to active objects?
Clone creates an entirely new object based on the original one. So if you wanted two different actives that look the same (Ball 1, and Ball 2), you use clone. Duplicate is basically the same as copy and paste, only you can create entire rows or columns of objects at once with the dialog that pops up.
Let me see if I got this ...so with duplicate obviously any changes I make on 1 object will effect all the other duplicated objects? And with clone it makes a totally different object that has it's own set of individual properties. Does copy (and paste) work the same as duplicate?Quote:

Yep you got it right. Duplicate is the same as copy and paste. I really don't use it, as about the only thing it makes easier would be if you're creating rows or columns of objects, like a tiled background of some kind. When you choose to duplicate it pops up the window and you can input rows and columns. Clone is the same as inserting a new object, it just copies the current object and inserts it as a new one.
Yes :)
