Organize layers and layer folders To organize your document, rearrange layers and folders in the Timeline. Layer folders help organize your workflow by letting you place layers in a tree structure. To see the layers a folder contains without affecting which layers are visible on the Stage, expand or collapse the folder. 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. • 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. Use guide layers For help in aligning objects when drawing, create guide layers and 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. Any layer can be a guide layer. Guide layers are indicated by a guide icon to the left of the layer name. To control the movement of objects in a motion tweened animation, create a motion guide layer.
