Guide Layers

Guide Layers
Motion Guides are paths drawn by you that your objects will follow. However, Motion Guides only work with Motion Tweens. Remember that. Let's say you wanted to animate an a bird flying in a curving path. You can do this by using a Motion Guide.
You can drag horizontal and vertical guides from the rulers onto the Stage when the rulers are displayed. You can move guides, lock guides, hide guides, and remove guides. You can also snap objects to guides, and change the guide color and snap tolerance (how close objects must be to snap to a guide). Flash allows you to create nested timelines. Draggable guides appear on the Stage only when the Timeline in which they were created is active.
You can clear all the guides in the current editing mode--document-editing mode or symbol-editing mode. If you clear guides in document-editing mode, all the guides in the document are cleared. If you clear guides in symbol-editing mode, all the guides in all symbols are cleared.
