fumbling with layers

[Jonas S (I flew Hale Bop)]

Hi to all reading this!


    I just started on this flash3 film, in which I have one layer with text

that I first broke apart and then outlined with the ink bottle. For the ink

bottle I used the fourth selection from the "line style" drop menu; the wavy

line. When I ink the letters of my text, I get small but oh-so-annoying gaps

in the new wavy outlines.  So I thought "-Oh well, I´ll just insert another

layer and fill the gaps by drawing with the pencil!", (drawing in the same

layer twisted the outlines rather badly). Ok, it worked so far, and I now

have continuous outlines for my text.

    Now I wan´t to create a symbol and get on animating the text....   how

do I do that? I tried to cut & paste-in-place the hand drawn "gap fillers"

to the text layer, but that also twists the oulines. Is there some way of

simply putting the layers together (like in Photoshop), or making a symbol

out of several layers?


Helpers are welcome to pay me a visit in Sweden and get a big friendly hug!
