ABSTRACT

The Main Timeline is made up of a sequence of “frames” which are numbered sequentially. There is an unlimited supply of frames. The scroll bar at the bottom of the Timeline pane is used to navigate through all the frames in the timeline. In a new Flash document, all of the frames are completely empty except for one. The first frame on the first layer contains an empty “keyframe”. A keyframe is a container that can hold a media element, a label, a script, or all three. In order to

put anything on a timeline frame, it must have a keyframe created on it first. New, empty keyframes are created using Insert-Timeline-Keyframe (also SHIFTF6).
