```

| Argument                      | Description                                                                                                                      |

## Example Implementation

<pre><code><strong>//Get the ball first (assuming you dont know its POid)
</strong><strong>var ballPOid = -1;
</strong><strong>with(oPersistentObject){
</strong><strong>    if(persistentObjectProperties.type == "ball"){
</strong><strong>        ballPOid = persistentObjectId
</strong><strong>    }
</strong><strong>}
</strong><strong>var ball_updated = {
</strong><strong>    type: "ball",
</strong><strong>    _x : 400,
</strong><strong>    _y : 400
</strong><strong>}
</strong><strong>EditPersistentObject(ballPOid,ball_updated)
</strong></code></pre>

This requests the server to edit the ball's properties, and is likewise updated on everyone else's screen.
