To delete a layer or folder:
1.
Select the layer or folder.
2.
Do one of the following:
■
Click the Delete Layer button in the Timeline.
■
Drag the layer or folder to the Delete Layer button.
■
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the layer or folder name and select
Delete Layer from the context menu.
Note: When you delete a layer folder, all the enclosed layers and all their contents are also deleted.
Organizing layers and layer folders
You can rearrange layers and folders in the Timeline to organize your document.
Layer folders help organize your workflow by letting you place layers in a tree structure. You can
expand or collapse a folder to see the layers it contains without affecting which layers are visible
on the Stage. Folders can contain both layers and other folders, allowing you to organize layers in
much the same way you organize files on your computer.
The layer controls in the Timeline affect all layers within a folder. For example, locking a layer
folder locks all layers within that folder.
To move a layer or layer folder into a layer folder:
•
Drag the layer or layer folder name to the destination layer folder name.
The layer or layer folder appears inside the destination layer folder in the Timeline.
To change the order of layers or folders:
•
Drag one or more layers or folders in the Timeline to the desired position.
To expand or collapse a folder:
•
Click the triangle to the left of the folder name.
To expand or collapse all folders:
•
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) and select Expand All Folders or Collapse
All Folders from the context menu.
Using guide layers
For help in aligning objects when drawing, you can create guide layers. You can then align objects
on other layers to the objects you create on the guide layers. Guide layers do not appear in a
published SWF file. You can make any layer a guide layer. Guide layers are indicated by a guide
icon to the left of the layer name.
You can also create a motion guide layer to control the movement of objects in a motion tweened
animation. See “Tweening motion along a path” in
Using Flash .
Note: Dragging a normal layer onto a guide layer converts the guide layer to a motion guide layer. To
prevent accidentally converting a guide layer, place all guide layers at the bottom of the layer order.
