In addition to moving the playhead in the Timeline to view your anima-
tion, commonly called scrubbing, Flash provides a controller to navi-
gate the Timeline. The Controller resembles the transport controls on a
VCR and can be used in the same way. Additionally, you can export
your Flash document into a Flash movie (a .swf file). You do this to see
your Flash movie in its final state, as there are some elements that are
not viewable in the Flash Development environment, such as anima-
tions contained in movie clip symbols and ActionScript functionality. To
preview basic animations from their own Timeline, you can use the
Controller to preview them.

Normally, the playhead shows one frame at a time—the frame it’s
placed on. As you play the Timeline, the Stage displays the content of
one frame at a time, forming your animation. Onion Skinning mode

allows you to view multiple frames simultaneously. This is useful for
fine-tuning your animation, because you can see the content on the
frames immediately preceding and following the active frame.
Using Onion Skinning
Activate Onion Skinning
Open a Timeline with a multiple
frame animation.
Click the Onion Skin Mode button
in the Status bar.
Onion skin markers appear in the
area above the frame numbers
and the area of the range of
frames selected dims. The frames
that precede the active frame and
the frames that follow appear in
varying degrees of shading on the
Stage, becoming lighter the further
they are from the active frame.
