You can change the way frames appear in the Timeline, as well as display
thumbnails of frame content in the Timeline. The Timeline shows where
animation occurs in a document, including frame-by-frame animation,
tweened animation, and motion paths. For more information on
animation, see Chapter 10, "Creating Motion" in Using Flash.
Controls in the layers section of the Timeline let you hide, show, lock, or
unlock layers, as well as display layer contents as outlines. For more
information, see "Editing layers and layer folders" on page
You can insert, delete, select, and move frames in the Timeline. You can
also drag frames to a new location on the same layer or to a different layer.
For more information, see
on page 59.
Changing the appearance of the Timeline
By default, the Timeline appears at the top of the main application
window, above the Stage. To change its position, you can dock the
Timeline to the bottom or either side of the main application window, or
display the Timeline as its own window. You can also hide the Timeline.
You can resize the Timeline to change the number of layers and frames that
are visible. When there are more layers than can be displayed in the
Timeline, you can view additional layers by using the scroll bars on the
right side of the Timeline.
