---+ Adding and Connecting Modules in Arena

You add modules by clicking and dragging them onto the flowchart view. If you have _Object > Auto-Connect_ checked, then the modules will connect automatically.

The attached flash movie shows how to add a _Create_ module connected to a _Process_ module, in turn connected to a _Dispose_ module (the flowchart structure for a single queue).

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="https://twiki.esc.auckland.ac.nz/twiki/pub/OpsRes/FLVPlayer/player.swf" width="1032" height="744">
    <param name="movie" value="https://twiki.esc.auckland.ac.nz/twiki/pub/OpsRes/FLVPlayer/player.swf" />
    <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
    <param name="FlashVars" value="flv=%ATTACHURL%/Adding_Modules.flv&amp;width=1032&amp;height=744&amp;margin=0&amp;showfullscreen=1&amp;showiconplay=1&amp;showtime=1" />
</object> 

If you did not have _Object > Auto-Connect_ checked, you'll need to connect the modules yourself using the _Connect_ button <img alt="connect_icon.png" src="%ATTACHURL%/connect_icon.png" /> to link the exit <img alt="exit_icon.png" src="%ATTACHURL%/exit_icon.png" /> and entry <img alt="enter_icon.png" src="%ATTACHURL%/enter_icon.png" />points of modules.

The following flash movie demonstrates this:

    <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
    <param name="FlashVars" value="flv=%ATTACHURL%/Connecting_Modules.flv&amp;width=1032&amp;height=744&amp;margin=0&amp;showfullscreen=1&amp;showiconplay=1&amp;showtime=1" />
</object>
