How to Create a New Layer Folder in Flash

Flash's layer folders allow you to group layers in collapsible folders. Grouping layers allows you to organize your timeline, change the layer order of several layers at once, and makes working easier without having to scroll through a long list of layers.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• A working installation of Flash.

1. To create a new layer folder, look for the Insert Layer folder icon in the menu below the Layers panel.
2. Click the button. A new folder should appear on a layer above your previously selected layers.
3. Double-click the layer's title to type in a new name for it.
4. To move layers to the layer folder, click and drag them over the layer folder's name or icon; release when the layer folder highlights. Once the layer is nested inside the layer folder, its name will appear indented on the layer list.
5. To remove a layer from a layer folder, drag it out from the layer folder list and below or above another layer outside the list.
6. To expand or collapse layer folders, click the small triangular icon next to the layer folder name.
7. Drag and drop layer folders just like layers to change their order.
