Abstract

A computer system and method of displaying a source code file with an ordered arrangement of object definitions of multimedia objects selectively display the object definitions in either textual or multimedia representations in response to user input. The representations are inlined within the ordered arrangement of object definitions such that a visual indication of the arrangement of such object definitions in the source code file is maintained. In addition, sets of data are selectively displayed in inlined shorthand notations within the ordered arrangement to permit a user to selectively minimize the representation of a set in a source code file, or to expand the representation of the set for viewing or editing of the specific data in the set.
