How do I "copy" a frame to another frame?

[OldGuy]

I made this one frame game, and I gathered the objects in it, and the backdrop, from all over my computer. Now I have one frame finished and want to make another like it. I have no library to drag the items from and I want to reproduce the first frame into a second, third, etc.. How do I do that?

Your help is greatly appreciated by this Old Far*.

Go to the storyboard editor-- Select the frame-- Edit>> Copy-- Edit>>paste.

When I saw your name, I knew I'd have to reply.

Thanks says OldGuy to OldManClayton. How old?

Not very. It's just my cartoon character.

Instead you should do:

Workspace Toolbar > Right-Click Frame > Clone

This makes an exact duplicate without having to spend time copying.

Are you really that concerned with time saving? O_o That saves you what, 2 seconds?

[Jaffob]

I have experienced about 20 seconds of time taken by copying (on a big frame with around 350 events), whereas clone takes no time all.

Even if there might be only a two-second freeze, you might as well save time and memory.

But if you do clone or copy a level/frame(same thing), you have to remove everything from the copied level in the level editor, which can take a lot of time and you may even accidently delete an extremely important object.

I always do this when creating a new level, create new frame, copy one of each object from previous frame, paste em to new frame, copy all events, paste em to new frame, edit start of frame-play music to a different music & then build the level.

Copying or cloning a frame is a good idea if it's a blank frame with all the objects and events in it.

I just select the entire frame area then deselect any objects I want to keep. Personally I find that easier than copying in everything.

That is better.
very easy. Thanks
