When you create a new Flash document, it contains one layer. You can add more layers to
organize the artwork, animation, and other elements in your document. The number of layers
you can create is limited only by your computer’s memory, and layers do not increase the file size
of your published movie. You can hide, lock, or rearrange layers.
You can also organize and manage layers by creating layer folders and placing layers in them. You
can expand or collapse layers in the Timeline without affecting what you see on the Stage. It’s a
good idea to use separate layers or folders for sound files, actions, frame labels, and frame
comments. This helps you find these items quickly when you need to edit them.
In addition, you can use special guide layers to make drawing and editing easier, and mask layers
to help you create sophisticated effects.
For an interactive introduction to layers, choose Help > Lessons > Understanding Layers.
Creating layers and layer folders
When you create a new layer or folder, it appears above the selected layer. A newly added layer
becomes the active layer.
To create a layer, do one of the following:
• Click the Add Layer button at the bottom of the Timeline.
• Choose Insert > Layer.
• Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) a layer name in the Timeline and choose
Insert Layer from the context menu.
To create a layer folder, do one of the following:
• Select a layer or folder in the Timeline, then choose Insert > Layer Folder.
• Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) a layer name in the Timeline, then
choose Insert Folder from the context menu.
The new folder appears above the layer or folder you selected.
Viewing layers and layer folders
As you work, you may want to show or hide layers or folders. A red X next to a the name of layer or
folder name indicates that it is hidden. Hidden layers are not preserved when a movie is published.
To help you distinguish which layer objects belong to, you can display all objects on a layer as
colored outlines. You can change the outline color used by each layer.
You can change the height of layers in the Timeline in order to display more information
(such as sound waveforms) in the Timeline. You can also change the number of layers displayed
in the Timeline.
To show or hide a layer or folder, do one of the following:
• Click in the Eye column to the right of the layer or folder name in the Timeline to hide that
layer or folder. Click in it again to show the layer or folder.
• Click the eye icon to hide all the layers and folders. Click it again to show all layers and folders.
• Drag through the Eye column to show or hide multiple layers or folders.
