Though mentioned in a way of handling layers,i'd like to add a suggestion to handling objects seperatly.
Have it like swishmax2,inside a tree,clipped or grouped or even have it group as single shape.
These seperate shapes are editable and filled with either color,gradient or image or none.
They can be shapes,lines,textboxes,whatever
This way you can clip objects inside clip objects.
(in a way the clipview is like movieclip in flash)
