Object does not register

[JaelleA]

In one of the rooms I've created, there is a lamp (object). Under the lamp is a folded paper, which I have added as an object (with the lamp as parent). When you look at the lamp, the message tells you there's a folded piece of paper under the lamp.

I set up the object/folded paper so that it can be taken (under the inventory tab), looked at (a message will appear), and opened (under the container tab).

When I test the game, the lamp is listed as an object (blue hyperlink). I can look at the lamp and see the message that there's a folded piece of paper underneath it. But when I type the commands to look at the folded paper (or take it or open it), all it says is, "I can't see that."

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help!

did you make the container lamp transparent?
Or better, make it a surface
