16. Multiple Layers You can change the way images, text fields, and other objects overlap on the stage by rearranging the layers in the timeline. In this example, the fence seems to be behind the flowers because, in the timeline, the fence layer is below the flowers layer. If you’d rather have the flowers behind the fence, just drag the flowers layer below the fence.

17. Two Types of Graphics Raster Also known as Bitmap Graphics. The raster graphic stored as an array of dots, or pixels. Each pixel gets assigned a specific color The more pixels you have, the more detailed the image can be.

18. Two Types of Graphics Vector Vector graphics are created and manipulated using drawing programs. Instead of using pixels to describe the image, it describes the image using shapes A. Circles B . Lines C . Curves Vector images can be rendered to different sizes or transformed in other ways without worrying about the image resolution and pixelation .

19. RASTER VS. VECTOR

20. MERGE AND OBJECT DRAWING Merge Drawing Blends shapes when they overlap on the Stage. Object Drawing Treats your shapes as grouped objects that can overlap without affecting each other.

21. GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS Graphic organizers (some of which are also called concept maps, entity relationship charts, and mind maps) are a pictorial way of constructing knowledge and organizing information.
