Sublet

What Is It?

A sublet is a special player that embeds one mbedlet inside another. The sublet can be a visible player and can pass system messages to the parent mbedlet.

A sublet player is visible and scrollable.

Why Use It?

To place an mbedlet into other mbedlets.

How to Create It

At the Players toolbar, click on the Sublet button. A new sublet player appears in the Players window, already selected.

To select the sublet data:

1. Right-click on the sublet player and choose Data...
2. Choose the .mbd file that you want to include in your mbedlet.
   When you choose the mbedlet and close the window, its image appears in the sublet player in the Player window.

To set properties for the sublet:

Right-click on the sublet in the Players window and choose Properties...

Under the Loadable tab, check PRELOAD if you want the entire sublet to download before the mbedlet begins running.

Under the Postable tab, check POSTABLE if you want any of the postable values sent to the server.

NOTE: The sublet's postable values (for text, buttons or controls) are posted only when the parent mbedlet performs a post. The postable values for the sublet are concatenated to those of the parent mbedlet.

The OPAQUE property controls the sublet's background color. A sublet also has visible properties.
