Stack objects
In a layer, Flash stacks objects in the order in which they are created, placing the most recently created object at the top of the stack. The stacking order of objects determines how they appear when they overlap. You can change the stacking order of objects at any time.
Drawn lines and shapes always appear below groups and symbols on the stack. To move them up the stack, you must group them or make them into symbols.
Layers also affect the stacking order. Everything on Layer 2 appears in front of everything on Layer 1, and so on. To change the order of layers, drag the layer name in the Timeline to a new position.
- Select the object.
-
Do one of the following:
-
Select Modify > Arrange > Bring To Front Or Send To Back to move the object or group to the top or bottom of the stacking order.
-
Select Modify > Arrange > Bring Forward Or Send Backward to move the object or group forward or backward one position in the stacking order.
-
If more than one group is selected, the groups move in front of or behind all unselected groups, while maintaining their order relative to each other.
