MM2 - Picking objects on frame

[droberson]

If your adding objects to a frame, and one object (Object 2) is below another object (Object 1); is there a way to select Object 2 without moving the other object?

For example, I have a combobox that I created first. Then I created a Static text object. I moved the objects around such that the combo box is over the static text. I can only select the combobox and have to move it each time I want to select the static text object.

Try it and you will see what I mean. Create a combo box and then a text object. Move the text object under the combo box area.

i dont believe ther is unless you use layers and hide on layer and work with the other...

yes but it is a work around I used b4 layers. in the list of object icons you can select the icon just above the one you want to move. Use the keyboard down arrow to select the object you want to move. By doing so it selects the object you want and brings focus to edit window. Using the arrows will then allow you to move the object. Could also slect the object that way and use the X and Y settings.

Hope that helps,
K
