Working with Frames
Select One or More Frames
◆
To select one frame, click on the
frame.
IMPORTANT
If the Span
Based Selection preference is
turned on, clicking a frame selects
the entire frame sequence
between two keyframes.
◆
To select multiple contiguous
frames, click the first frame in the
sequence, hold down Shift, and
then click the last frame in the
sequence.
◆
To select multiple noncontiguous
frames, A+click (Mac) or
Ctrl+click (Win) the frames you
want to select.
A frame displays content at a specific moment on the Stage. The order
in which frames appear in the Timeline determines the order in which
they appear in the document. The Timeline displays each frame in
sequential order from 1 to the end of the document. As you play a doc-
ument, the playhead moves through the Timeline displaying the current
frame with each layer on the Stage. When you work with frames, you

can select, insert, delete, and move frames in the Timeline. When you
move frames in the Timeline, you can place them on the same layer or
a different layer. If you want to display a specific frame in a document,
you can move the playhead to the frame in the Timeline to display the
frame content on the Stage. Another type of frame is called a keyframe.
A keyframe defines a change in an animation or uses actions to modify
a document.

If a project requires a lot of animations with hundreds of frames, you
can organize the animations into scenes to make them easier to work
with and manage. The Scene panel makes it easy to display the number
of scenes in the document, select current scenes for editing, create
new scenes, duplicate scenes, delete scenes, and reorder them. You
can also use the Edit bar to select a scene to edit. When you select a
scene, Flash displays it on the Stage. When you publish a document as
a movie, the scenes play in order unless you add interactivity to play
them differently. Be aware that scenes are treated like self-contained
movies, so transitions between scenes with interactivity may not be
seamless.
