I was helping Parichay the last few days and for the life of me could only find two flaps under the Object Catalog: button flap and connectors flap. I find out today from him that in order to add a text flap you have to press <ALT> < , >. It's like finding an Easter egg! <br>
<br>Hoping that this text flap would be added to the object catalog. Till then, I'll add this to the manual. <br><br>--Cherry<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Mar 22, 2010 at 6:19 AM, Steve Thomas <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sthomas1@gosargon.com">sthomas1@gosargon.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

This flap has different properties from the "About" flap you see on the Etoys "home page" in that it acts as a "Parts Bin" </span></font></div>

<div>Everything in Etoys is made from a single kind of basic object. They can all be attached (embedded) in any other object.<br>
<br>First, make a flap, then open it by clicking on the tab, and simply drag a text object into the flap and drop it.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Alan<br></div><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">
