So at any point after you create your text, you can return to it and change it or any of its properties, such as its color, font, size, or alignment. As with other Flash elements, it’s best to separate text on its own layer to keep your layers organized. Having text on its own layer also makes it easy to select, move, or edit your text without disturbing the items in the layers below or above it.
