Using the Timeline 23

• To scale the Stage to fit completely in the given window space, select View > Magnification >

Fit in Window.

• To display the contents of the current frame, select View > Magnification > Show All, or select

Show All from the Zoom control at the upper right of the application window. If the scene is

empty, the entire Stage is displayed.

• To display the entire Stage, select View > Magnification > Show Frame or select Show Frame

from the Zoom control at the lower left corner of the application window.

• To display the work area surrounding the Stage, select View > Work Area. The work area is

shown in light gray. Use the Work Area command to view elements in a scene that are partly or

completely outside of the Stage. For example, to have a bird fly into a frame, you would

initially position the bird outside of the Stage in the work area.

Moving the view of the Stage

When the Stage is magnified, you may not be able to see all of it. The Hand tool lets you move

the Stage to change the view without having to change the magnification.

To move the Stage view:

In the Tools panel, select the Hand tool. To temporarily switch between another tool and the

Hand tool, hold down the Spacebar and click the tool in the Tools panel.

Drag the Stage.

Using the Timeline

The Timeline organizes and controls a document’s content over time in layers and frames. Like

films, Flash documents divide lengths of time into frames. Layers are like multiple film strips

stacked on top of one another, each containing a different image that appears on the Stage. The

major components of the Timeline are layers, frames, and the playhead.

Layers in a document are listed in a column on the left side of the Timeline. Frames contained

in each layer appear in a row to the right of the layer name. The Timeline header at the top of

the Timeline indicates frame numbers. The playhead indicates the current frame displayed on

the Stage.

The Timeline status display at the bottom of the Timeline indicates the selected frame number,

the current frame rate, and the elapsed time to the current frame.
