Node

What nodes are and how they can be used is covered in Nodes section. This page will cover how Cocos Studio can be used to create nodes. The following section covers importing the node into Cocos using code http://cocos.sonarlearning.co.uk/v1.0/docs/importing-a-scene-into-cocos.

Nodes in Cocos Studio are great as it allows you to create your own objects containing other objects that can easily be reused. Any modifications made to the Node including it's objects will affect all instances of the Node.
