Here's An Outline

Flash actually gives you the ability to render all artwork on any layer as outlines only. Choose any layer in your Timeline with artwork on it and click the colored square to the right of that layer's name. Flash will display everything on that layer as outlines in the color of the square icon.

There are a number of reasons to use the feature: You may want to determine what artwork goes on what layer simply by looking and matching the outline color. You may want to position an object under another without the fill color getting in the way. Whatever the case, you now know the solution. Some things you should know: Outlines only appear in Flash, not when you export the movie, and rendering art in outline mode can speed up Flash on slower machines. Click the same icon again to return the layer's view mode to normal.
