View the movie clip

Now you'll open symbol-editing mode to view the Timeline for a movie clip.

1 | On the Stage, double-click the movie clip of the car.
| As you learned in the Creating Tweened Animation lesson, you define changes in animation in keyframes. When you scroll around the Timeline, note which layers have keyframes in them and which frames are keyframes.
| Beginning and intermediate keyframes that include content are indicated in the Timeline by solid circles, ending keyframes appear as small outlined rectangles.
2 | In the Timeline, select the playhead and drag it slowly across the frames.
| Watch how changes in action on the Stage correspond to changes in the Timeline. As you drag the playhead, the movie plays sequentially. You can add ActionScript, the Flash scripting language, to movies to make the playhead jump to specific frames.
3 | When you finish viewing the movie clip, do one of the following to return to the main movie:
| Choose Edit > Edit Document.
| Click the Back button.
| Click Scene 1 above the Stage.
