Giving a group of simple objects a click-event?

DRA_Employee Posts: 25 Rating: (0)	Hi everybody, I am making standards for my company. For calling a faceplate I need a click-event on an object representing an engine. However the enhanced objects do not contain the image I would like to use for an engine. Therefor I have created an image (a group) out of simple objects. These simple objects (or group)do not have the option to connect an event to them. Has anybody encountered the same problem before or does anybody have a solution for my problem? I thank you in advance.

If you click in thecontext menu on "Edit"you can edit all the objects in the group - include the events of each objekt". Bye

DRA_Employee Posts: 25 Rating: (0)	Okey I agree, but that still means I have to use at least one enhanced object. If I use only simple objects then none of those objects will be able to get an event connected to them. So maybe a better question would be, is there a way to connect an event to a simple object or a group of simple objects?

Place two triangles on there (simple objects) and make them into a group so they become one element. Now in run when I click them, I want to set a bit using an event. However simple objects dont offer events ... Is their a method to work around that?
