Reusing Sprites (solved)

I have a large sprite back ground for a game 960 x 960, and want to reuse it in another layout.

I see the the sprite in the Objects/Default menu but can't figure out how to reuse the sprite. I do not want to load it again and make the program twice as big.

What am I missing?

Can you not just copy and paste it from one layout to the next?

I was expecting that to be the same as loading. But you are right scidave! The copied sprite used the same space as only 1 sprite.

Thanks!
