B: Answer the following:

1.       Layers are like multiple  transparent sheets that can hold objects and are stacked on the top of each other. layers are very useful while  developing a big animated movie. When we have to use a number of objects , it is always better to distributes the objects in different layers as it makes the work process much easier.

2.       We can hide a layer to view the content on the other layers. while hiding a layer we have a option either to hide all the layers in our document at once or hide the layers individually.

Process to Hiding a Layer:-click on Eye icon above the layer. A red cross appears in the eye column. You will find all the contents disappear from the stage.

3.       Two methods to rename a layer:

a.       Click on the layer which you want to rename then double click on the layer and type the new name.

b.      Right click on the layer. Select the properties option from the context menu or choose > modify > Timeline> Layer properties from the menu then the layer properties dialog box will appear.  Type the new name in the name box and click OK.

4.       Masking in flash is a way to selectively hide and display the content on a layer. The mask layer contains a mask item that can be filled shape, a typed object, an instance of graphic symbol or a movie clip on one layer.
