Enhanced layer controls
Flash Professional CS5.5 gives you more control over the contents of your document with the
ability to do even more with layers. Copy and paste layers—including ones with motion and
inverse kinematics armatures—to a different timeline or even to a different FLA document. You
can also cut and duplicate layers, and even copy and paste folders.
