I know this is going to sound really stupid, but I can't seem to find a way to unlock objects in MMF. I had a Quick Backdrop object that I didn't want to accidentally click on when editing object in front of it, so I locked it. Now, I've looked everywhere and can't find out how to unlock it, and I want to delete it now.
Thanks! That's definitely a good thing to know for the future.

Tigerworks - Do you have an monkey under your desk telling you every button combination in MMF or do you just randomly mash your keyboard until something happens? Maybe even you even do both of the above and throw in a panda somewhere.
I learn mine from hanging round forums till someone mentions them. I though I knew them all until this new one, which turned out to be one of the most useful.
I think one of the most useful one is where you hold Ctrl while placing a hotspot or action spot in the picture editor & have it go in the same place for every other frame in the animation. It saves ALOT of time!
Stuff like Ctrl+drag are present in Windows, so it's continuity. You can right-drag too, and a list of (two) options appears. Really useful stuff. I believe there are a load of toolbar shortcuts that you can change and assign, too.
Also: Ctrl+D is a great way to hide all windows. Of course, I don't use it, because I am never looking at websites that contain content my parents would not want me to see.
One thing I miss from MMF which is a Windows standard is using CTRL-click as a single selection addition thingymabob. It's present in all the other programs I use, but not in MMF for some reason. And the wheel scrolling seems to be selective depending on what window you're using.
