Check failure! This is probably a bug:

I was trying to copy an object from one project to another. Is this the same issue as the issue copying events? Is this even possible?

See #5, how to report bugs. Can I see your .capx file? Let me know which object to copy and I can give it a go. Copying objects between projects ought to work OK. Events should also work, but as long as all the referenced objects are present with exactly the same names and plugin types.

First, sorry about not providing the .capx files. I should know better.

Second, here are the two files:

   Project from which to copy: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38038537/CopyFromThisProject.capx

   Project to which to paste: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38038537/PasteToThisProject.capx

Copy the Sprite object from the copy-from project, and paste it into the paste-to project.

After a second look, I realized I already had an object in the paste-to project named Sprite, but it was in a sub-folder so I didn't see it. I have since changed the name and the copy-paste works properly.

I wanted to still give you the files, in case you need to check the error further. I imagine it should give a regular alert message (that i already had an object named Sprite), instead of throwing an error.

Thanks!

Thanks for the .capx files- I see now! It looks like a tricky one - the object has the same name so it tries to paste it as a new instance of the same object, but it has different behaviors which causes the error. I'll try and get it fixed some time but the workaround is simple, like you say just make sure the objects have a different name.
