What is flash use for timeline?

Answer 1

As the name suggests, it is the flow of timed events along this timeline. Specific scripts, animation tweens and images appear in the order of their placement along the timeline. The speed of which it is played is based on the frame rate specified in the project properties. Some ActionScript can be placed on certain frames to send the playhead to another position in the timeline. Scripts such as stop(), which will pause the playhead at the frame where this action is, gotoAndPlay(50) or gotoAndStop(50) which will send the playhead to either play from or pause at frame 50 in the timeline. If you have a movie clip instance, like a button placed at a certain frame and you place an action on the frame to stop there, you can place another action on the button itself to tell it to go to another frame or continue to play.

Like many multimedia programs, the timeline is generally used to show the events during the forward flow in real time. Like any audio program showing the sound sample waveform, movie making programs that show where you can place subtitles or sounds at certain points or a slide show presentation showing the events that occur as time progresses in the project.

Answer 2

Think of the timeline as a storyboard. Everything that is placed along the timeline is played forward like a video playhead until an action or interaction forces it to stop or redirect backwards, forwards to any frame or scene instantly. Objects that are along the timeline at specific intervals will only be seen based on what frames are visible at that time, and some objects can be spanned along or "tweened" to animate along several frames.

Answer 3

time line means, the line on flash and it has where the stages take places.
