Add a new actor from the media library

In the project view, tap the + symbol (more info) to add a new actor or object. Select “Looks”.

Choose an actor that you want to use in your program. Tap on the actor (1) and download it (2).

You can now give the actor a new name (1) and visually place it in your game (2). This means you can move your actor directly on the screen. You will immediately see where it is positioned in the project. Confirm with “OK”.

Place your actor (1) and confirm with the checkmark (2).
