Can't drag image onto stage in new layer, from the library?

For a text book assignment we have to make a new layer and then drag a image from the library panel onto the stage but it won't let me? The new layer doesn't look the same as the rest in the timeline panel too.

Correct answer Ned Murphy

Where do you paste the screen shot though to upload it in here? I only knew of microsoft word and that wouldn't work through the camera icon...


You need to save it as an image (png, jpeg, gif).  Do you have an image software?  If you own a PC you should have the Paint program in your Accessories.  You can paste the screenshot into that and save it as a one of those types.

You should show a screenshot of the timieline.  It might be that your layer is locked... check if the lock is enabled - a small black icon next to the layer name.

If your question does not invovle Actionscript 3 you should post in the Flash Pro General forum.

Hi,

Thank you for your advice, but sadly it isn't locked. I can drag an image onto a layer already there just not a new layer for some reason. I'm behind in class because of this issue but I'm at a loss. I know how to take a screen shot but how do I add it to here, I pasted it in microsoft word but it wouldn't allow me to upload it as a image...

Oh wow! You are RIGHT! I didn't realize there were folders in the timeline, I'm new to Adobe Flash obviously lol. Thank you so much, you saved me from having to call support Monday!
