11 Click OK. The two Photoshop layers are imported into Flash and placed on
separate layers on the Timeline.
The Photoshop images are automatically converted into movie clip symbols
and saved in your Library. All the blending and transparency information is
preserved. If you select the image in the flare layer, you’ll see that the Blending
option is set to Lighten in the Properties inspector under the Display section.
12 Drag the robot and the hero layers to the top of the Timeline so they overlap the
background layers.
 Note: If you want to edit your Photoshop files, you don’t have to go through the entire import
process again. You can edit any image on the Stage or in the Library panel in Adobe Photoshop or
any other image-editing application. Right-click/Ctrl-click an image on the Stage or an image in the
Library and choose Edit with Adobe Photoshop to edit in Photoshop, or select another Edit with
the option to choose your preferred application. Flash launches the application, and once you have
saved your changes, your image is immediately updated in Flash.
editing and managing Symbols
You now have multiple movie clip symbols in your Library and several instances
on the Stage. You can better manage the symbols in your Library by organizing
them in folders. You can also edit any symbol at any time. If you decide you want
to change the color of one of the robot’s arms, for example, you can easily go into
symbol-editing mode and make that change.
