We are going to see how to organize the elements in the flash framework.There are various groupping ways of objects, and clasification in flash. They are:

• Groups: Objects adds in one object, which you can manage as one.
• Layers: Visual levels in a scene (it makes the depth of the scenary)
• Libraries: They keep the used objects, flash is object orieted, then has all the characteristics of this programming: hierachy, modularity, polimorfism,…
• Scenes: Group of events separated in time, but happens one after other.

Groups

They are the first level group. They are essential for the basic figures into more complex drawings.

• Trough th menu: Modify
• Hotkey: Group (Ctrl G)
• Undo the group: ctrl.+G+Mayus

For example, the house:

Groupping in:

• Group home
  • Group roof = line+filling
  • Facade = line+filling
  • Door = line+filling

Groupping examples in the following file (source):

Layers

Can be used to tag different levels (in depth) in the scene. Organizing the actors in depth. The window is:

It can be grouped in directories, and buid layers with

Too we have the symbols, eye-lock-square:

• Warning: to visualize or not the layer
• Lock: to block the layer and not modify in accident
• Square: to visualize diagram draw in the layer (minium drawing of the objects).
