Flash Kids' Corner: Drawing Bobo the Mouse

Now we need to make Bobo's body, but first we need to make a new layer. You may have noticed that when you draw on top of your circles on the same layer, it paints over what was already there. We want to be able to paint without erasing, just covering up, so we need a new Layer. Layers stack drawings without erasing them.

To make a new layer, look at the top of your screen, where you'll see a bar labeled Timeline with Layer 1 listed under it. To make a new layer, click the New Layer button. A new layer called Layer 2 will appear. Click on it.
