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.
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...

In the posting editor there is a camera icon that you can use to add an image to your posting.

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...

Thank you so much! I didn't think to paste it in Paint!

If you are talking about the layer named Turtle, that is not a layer as much as it is a folder - a way of grouping layers. Insert another layer and use that (be sure not to select Insert Folder)

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!
