1. What do you understand by the term Layer?
Answer: Layers are like transparent sheets that can hold objects and are stacked on top of each other. Layers are useful while developing a big animation movie. Layers allow you to organise the artwork, animations, and other elements of your movie. You can draw and edit objects in one layer without affecting the objects in another layer.
2. What do you understand by hiding and showing a layer? How will you hide a layer?
Answer: You can hide the layers to view the contents on the other layers. While hiding the layers, you have the option either to hide all the layers in your document at once or hide the layers individually.
• Click on the Eye icon above the layers. A white cross symbol appears in the Eye column. You will find that all the contents disappear from the stage.
• Click on each white cross symbol one by one in the column, and observe that the contents on the layer reappear on the stage.
3. Write any two methods to rename a layer.
Answer:
• Method 1:
→ Select the layer which you want to rename.
→ Double-click on the layer name and type the new name.
• Method 2:
→ Right click on the layer name. Select the Properties option from the Context menu. Or Choose Modify > Timeline > Layer Properties from the menu.
→ The Layer properties dialog box appears. Type the new name in the Name text box and click on OK.
4. What do you know about masking in Animate?
Answer: In Animate, masking is a way to selectively hide and display the content on a layer. The mask layer contains a mask item that can be a filled shape, a typed object, an instance of graphic symbol, or a movie clip on one layer. This acts as a hole through which we can see the content of the other layers beneath it. Masking is often used in Animate to create spotlight effects that would display the text or object through a hole.
