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 above or below other layers in the Timeline.
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 are not exported and 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.
