[kepler-users] CompositeActor WorkFlow

[Chad Berkley]

Hi Mohana,

One way to do this is to open a blank workflow window, and drag 
TypedCompositeActor from the tree onto the new workflow window.  Then 
right click on that actor and choose "open actor."  you should then have 
a workflow screen open that represents the contents of your new 
composite.  Then open your workflow, copy the contents of the workflow 
by hightlighting all the components and doing ctrl-c, then paste the 
contents into the window that represents the composite actor.  You 
should then have the contents of your workflow in a composite that you 
can save to the library (i.e. rt. click and choose "save to library" 
which will create a kar file for the composite and put it in the library 
tree).

hope that helps.  let me know if you need more help.
