1. Re: newbie question
Marek Mularczyk May 25, 2011 11:29 AM (in response to bbxrider)Every layer in Flash has three icons next to the name (on the right).
They are (from left to right): show/hide, lock/unlock, change preview to outlines.
If you click on the dot under the last icon (outline preview), all the elements that appear on the selected layer will display as outlines.

3. Re: newbie question
bbxrider May 25, 2011 1:11 PM (in response to Marek Mularczyk)thanks that helps a lot
I kept clicking the rightmost icon on the layer line itself not the icon on the top, and then realizing that to see only 1 layer at a time had to hide all the others, and it seems you have to have the time line open enough to click/select one of those sections, anyway so now the real work can begin
any suggestions for tutorials on the action scripting? one layer, which in this case is a 7 item web form, pretty simple, has 500+ lines of script which seems to be a lot and so pretty complicated. it looks like jscript, or is it a flash script that is java like?
