Files are always added to a project above the previous objects. This is one reason why it's good to start with the background and build upward. Since the map was added after the globe, it is currently above the globe in the Canvas and on the Layers tab. In this exercise, you'll change the order of the objects and then rename the entire layer. To change the order of objects on the Layers tab, you simply drag an object either upward to move it above another object or downward to move it below. Dragging an object up or down on the Layers tab can also create a new layer containing the object that is being moved. You control whether you move an object or create a new layer by aligning the position indicator with the desired icon. If you align the object with the Layer icon, you create a new layer; if you align it with an object icon, you move the object. The Layer icon looks like a series of layers. Layer icon The object icon varies, depending on the type of object file. There are four object icons: Still image, Movie, Shape, and Text. Still image Movie Shape (created in Motion) Text (created in Motion) The position indicator takes the guesswork out of moving objects within layers. As you move an object, the position indicator appears as a black line between the rows. When the position indicator is aligned with the correct icon, release the mouse to place the object. Let's move the Map Loop object to create a new layer; then we'll move the Map Loop object within the new layer.
