#2 Heres the rest of it. To many words for 1 post.

getField() - (int index) - Gets the name of the field at the given index.
getFieldCount() - () - Gets the number of persistent fields on the object.
getFieldType() - obj.getFieldType(fieldName);
getFieldValue() - obj.getFieldValue(fieldName);
getGlobalCenter() - returns center of control, as space seperated ints
getGlobalPosition() -
getGroup() - obj.getGroup()
getId() - obj.getId()
getInternalName() - getInternalName returns the objects internal name
getMinExtent() - Get the minimum allowed size of the control.
getName() - obj.getName()
getObject() - set.getObject(objIndex)
getParent() - returns the Id of the parent control
getPosition() -
getRoot() - returns the Id of the parent canvas.

param shapeName Name of the model to display.

setMount() - (string shapeName, int mountPoint)
Mounts the given model to the specified mount point of the primary model displayed in this control.

param shapeName Name of the model to mount.param mountPoint Index of the mount point to be mounted to. Corresponds to "mountPointN" in your shape where N is the number passed here.

#3 Hi Nicolai,

from my experience with TGE (not TGEA):

you load your dts in the guiObjectView with :

myView.setObject("myObjArbitraryName", "path/to/dts/myObject.dts", "path/to/dts/mySkinBLUE.texture", 0);

I can't access the object in the view (getCount() return 0).

To change the skin, I did:

myView.setObject("myObjArbitraryName", "path/to/dts/myObject.dts", "path/to/dts/mySkinRED.texture", 0);

Hope that apply to TGEA.
