Flash Basics
To move the Timeline when it is docked to the application
window:
Drag the gripper at the left of the word Timeline in the panel title bar.
To dock an undocked Timeline:
Drag the Timeline title bar to an edge of the application window. Press
Control and drag to prevent the Timeline from docking.
To lengthen or shorten layer name fields:
Drag the bar separating the layer names and the frames portions of
the Timeline.
To resize the Timeline, do one of the following:
If the Timeline is docked to the main application window, drag the bar
separating the Timeline from the Stage area.
If the Timeline is not docked to the main application window, drag the
lower-right corner (Windows) or the size box in the lower-right corner
(Macintosh).
Moving the playhead
The playhead moves through the timeline as a document plays to indicate
the current frame displayed on the Stage. The Timeline header shows the
frame numbers of the animation. To display a frame on the Stage, you
move the playhead to the frame in the Timeline.
When you're working with a large number of frames that can't all be
displayed in the Timeline at once, you can move the playhead along the
Timeline to easily display a specific frame.
