The Timeline provides a view of tweened frames in an animation. For
information on editing tweened frames, see "Creating Motion" in
Using Flash.
Flash offers two different methods for selecting frames in the Timeline. In
frame-based selection (the default) you select individual frames in the
Timeline. In span-based selection, the entire frame sequence, from one
keyframe to the next, is selected when you click any frame in the sequence.
You can specify span-based selection in Flash preferences.
To specify span-based selection:
1.
Select Edit > Preferences.
2.
Select the General category.
3.
In the Timeline section, select Span based selection.
4. Click OK.
