Importing PSD files to the Flash library

Importing a PSD file into the library is similar to importing to the Stage. When you import a PSD file into the library, the root folder uses the name of the PSD file. After the PSD file is imported into the library, you can change the name of the root folder, or move the layers out of the folder.
Note: The library orders the contents of the imported PSD file alphabetically. The hierarchical grouping and folder structure remains the same, but the library reorders them alphabetically.
A movie clip is created that contains all of the content of the PSD file imported to its timeline, as if the content were imported to the stage. Almost all movie clips have a bitmap or other asset associated with them. To minimize confusion and naming conflicts, these assets are stored in an Assets folder in the same folder as the movie clip.
Note: When you import to the library, the PSD file's contents are imported to the movie clip's timeline, not the main Flash timeline.
