I have no idea what they were thinking, but neither Flash or Photoshop’s creators allow drag and drop of selectable objects onto different layers.

But I mean come on it can’t be that hard? all they gotta do is changed the objects layer property esshhh.

Is there perhaps another way?

I just want to move my moveclips and graphics etc to a seperate layer as if I had created them in that layer in the first place, copy/paste fails because it does not retain the objects actionscript code.
