Folders Nest Too

[ LiB ]

Flash documents are getting more and more complex as features are added. As a result, you often end up with time-lines that have several layers on them. Organizing these layers becomes more difficult, and sometimes simply naming them doesn't do enough for that organization. One feature that aids in organizing a timeline is Layer Folders. And because folders also can start cluttering up a timeline pretty quickly, we must go even further to prevent our timelines from looking like a musical score sheet. To do this, we turn to nesting. That's right, we can actually nest folders in the Timeline as well. To do so, simply create a Layer Folder using the Add Folder button a couple of times. With several folders on the Timeline, you can click and drag one into another, and of course the same still goes for layers themselves. By nesting your layers, you'll save screen space and keep your layers well organized from this day forward.
