If you place the mouse pointer on an animated object, it becomes a star. An animated object becomes a hyperlink if you click on it or click on it and it then drag it.

Navigation with Go, Slide, Tilt, Rotate, Pan or Zoom can be difficult in a world with active objects. Use the button Search instead. Search takes you directly to the objects without activating them.
