Trouble moving playhead along timeline

Hi,
I apologize if this questions has already been asked and answered. I tried searching through the Flash forum and was unable to find the answer I was looking for.
I am very new to Flash and apologize for the simplicity of the question, but I am having trouble moving the playhead along the timeline in Flash. For example, when I open up a new Flash project, and start out with the initial layer with it’s single frame, I am having trouble moving the playhead forward to frame i.g. "75" or "80". My questions is, can I not move the playhead because I do not have content past frame one or can I not move the playhead because I have accidentally initiated a button or action that will only allow me to scrub my playhead through frames with content. On the off chance I had done this, I tried restarting Flash with the default settings with no success. Again, I realize this may be a very simple question and I am hoping the answer will be the same.

when you're in the authoring environment, you need a frame to exist at 75 or 80 before you can move the play head there.  so, right click frame 75 and click insert frame or insert keyframe or insert blank keyframe.

  • Move quickly along timeline

    How do I move quickly along timeline if I am at the end of a long clip and want to start viewing at or near the beginning, or vice versa?
    Scrolling seems to make the program crash.  In a different - but awful - editing program, I was able to double-click anywhere along the timeline and the cursor (or whatever you call that red line) would jump over and start playing at the start of the clip I clicked.  That was an easy way to move quickly through lots of footage without hearing the soundtrack play backwards, etc.
    Right now I'm practicing with a short video but soon will be working on a long video where I'm editing and joining several days worth of clips of varying sizes and file types.
    Also, how do I edit specific volume points in the timeline?  The instructions seem clear about changing volume as a whole, but the fade out option doesn't fade out sufficiently and there will be times when i want to change the volume of just a few seconds of footage.
    Thanks,
    A

    You can quickly get to any point on your timeline in a number of ways. The easiest way to get to the beginning is to press the Home key.
    You can also drag the CTI (playhead), use the speed scrubber slider on the Monitor panel or click on the timecode displayed on the Monitor panel and type in the exact place on the timeline you want to go.
    Editing the volume at specific points on your timeline is best handled with keyframing. With keyframing, you add keyframe points to your timeline representing specific effects settings or audio levels, placing the keyframes higher or lower as needed.
    There is some information on audio keyframing in the Help files, but I also cover it in depth in my books.

    There seems to be a lag with the Mail.app in regards to synchronization with messages stored on the server even when selecting "Automatically synchronize changed mailboxes" under the Advanced tab for the account preferences.
    As a test, after doing the same try taking the account offline and then online and or quit and re-launch the Mail.app.
    Check if the transferred message is still in both locations on the server.

  • Having trouble moving show to Ipod Classic

    For some reason, I'm having trouble moving a purchased TV Show (Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog) to my Ipod. Everything else has transferred fine, but this just stays in Itunes and wont go anywhere. There's more than plenty of room available, so I'm not sure what the deal is. Any suggestions?

    Hey, I had the same problem too, so I changed to option to sync all episodes instead. All 3 episodes are up, but they can't play on my iPod (iPod classic 5th gen 30gb). When I click on an episode to play it goes into the movie screen like any other movie but the screen just remains black for more than a few minutes. Anything I do to get it going just brings me back to the list of episode pages.
    I've tried removing the show and re-syncing my iPod but to no avail. Can anyone help?!! I really want to watch Dr. Horrible!

  • I have PC with Windows 7 and iPad. My music in iTunes on PC is available under Music on iPad but having trouble moving music to i-Cloud. I suceed in moving the music to iCloud on PC but when I look at iPad music still on device and not in iCloud. Help?

    I am a beginner using Apple software, so please bare with me.
    I am having trouble moving music from the iPad to iCloud in order to save space in the device.
    I realise that in order to store music not purchased on iTunes store can only be stored in iCloud if you subscribe to iTunes Match which I have done.
    Appears that moving music from iTunes on my PC to iCloud is successful by deleting song or album in iTunes library and than click on "Keep song" instead of sending to recycle bin. After this has been done the Cloud Icon appears on the album or against the song. However when I then look at Music on the iPad the album or song have not been moved to iCloud. I have tried syncronising with cable connected between PC and iPad. After that has been done the message is that sync was successful bujt still music has not been moved into the Cloud.
    Can anybody help? What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to move the music to the cloud working on the iPad only (without trying to use the PC to move the music to the cloud)?

    You can only add music to iTunes Match from your iTunes library on your computer, not from your iOS device.  If you have music on your iPad that is not on your computer, you'll have to import it to your iTunes library on your computer to add it to iTunes Match. 
    Music purchased from the iTunes store can be imported directly to your iTunes library by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Music from other sources will require using 3rd party software to transfer to your computer, such as Touch Copy.

  • Trouble moving from lightroom to Photoshop CS6 raw editor

    I am having trouble moving from my lightroom 4 to Photoshop camera raw. I can move directly to Photoshop but would like to use the raw editor in photoshop CS6 and not the lightroom editor

    Hi,
    You could use Photo>Edit In>Open as Smart Object in Photoshop
    (or right click on the photo and Edit In>Open as Smart Object in Photoshop)
    Then double click on the smart object thumbnail in the layers panel to open camera raw.

  • I am having trouble moving files from iPhoto to a thumb drive.  Sometimes I can move 20 photos next time I can only move 2 photos or 0---this is during the same session.  I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet.  Can someone please help?

    I am having trouble moving files from iphoto to a thumb drive.  During the same session sometime I can move 10 photos at a time, the next time I can only move one photo and sometime no photos will move.  I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet.  I was using a MacBook Pro and had no problems like this.  I then upgraded to the MacBook Pro with Retina Vision and this is the computer I am having problems with.  Can anyone please give me a suggestion in how to fix this problem. THANK YOU.

    iPhoto problems should be posted in their forums.
    I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet.
    Needs clarification.  You upload from your computer to the internet & download from a website/internet to your computer.  So which are you trying to do?  Either way, sounds like a browser issue.  You need to post in the forum of whichever browser you are using.

  • I am having trouble moving a video from iTunes on my PC to my iPod (4th gen).

    I am having trouble moving a video from iTunes on my PC to my iPod (4th gen). Is it a problem that it is in the "Home Videos" section? I go into the "Home Videos" sections and drag the video that I want so that the bar comes up, move it over to the device and let go. All that happens is it flashes a few times and then nothing. No error or anything.

  • Moving Around the Timeline

    Hi,
    Just a quick question about moving around the timeline. I'm using the up and down arrow keys to jump between cuts, but for some reason I can jump back beween cuts, but when clips are stepped up it doesn't seem to let me jump forward to the next edit.(I'm on the FCP keyboard config)
    Also, to jump forward the begining, or back to the end I'm supposed to use the home/end key. does anyone know what this is on a MacBook Pro keyboard?
    Thx

    I'm using the up and down arrow keys to jump between cuts, but for some reason I can jump back beween cuts, but when clips are stepped up it doesn't seem to let me jump forward to the next edit.
    I assume you're referring to when you have more than one track with clips on them. In that case, you need to be mindful of which tracks are targeted; that controls which tracks are subject to the Next/Previous Edit commands.
    For example:
    Any track that isn't targeted will be ignored by the Next/Previous Edit commands. Just click the header "button" to enable or disable a track. Track targeting affects many other operations in Premiere Pro--for example, adding edits or applying transitions. Check out this Help document page for some more info: Targeting tracks
    Not sure about the MBP keyboard question, but a Google search for such turned up this: Home and End Keys on the Macbook Pro

  • Trouble moving music from my iTunes to my iPhone.

    I downloaded the new iTunes software very recently, but now I seem to be having trouble moving music from my iTunes library onto my iPhone. If I click and drag the track to the iPhone icon, the icon is completely unresponsive. If I right-click the track and hit "Add to iPhone" nothing happens either. My iPhone is synced to my laptop and 'Trusts' it, so I don't understand why I'm not getting any response from my phone when I try to move music into it.
    This is especially frustrating as when I tried to download the new software for my iPhone it suddenly and inexplicably went into recovery mode, and though I recovered the phone's data from backup all my music has been deleted from my phone and I can't get it back.
    Am I doing something wrong that I'm unaware of, or is there a problem with the software? Any feedback would be hugely appreciated.

  • Trouble Moving Audio With Video In Timeline

    I'm new to Premiere Pro CS3, coming from Final Cut Pro 4.5 and am having trouble finding the following in the Help File:
    -When I grab  a clip in the timeline, and try to move it up and over to a different  spot in the timeline, only the video portion moves up.  The Audio  portion stays on the same track and superimposes itself onto other audio  clips as I drag.  In Final Cut Pro, the video rises to a differnet  track and the audio lowers to a differnet track so there's no collisions.  Is ther a way to do this that I'm missing?
    Gracias.

    For PrPro CS3, this post should be in THIS forum. I feel that the MOD's will be moving it for you, so you will know where to find it, once they do.
    Now, for the Audio issue, what is the channel-count of the Audio Stream? In PrPro, Audio will ONLY go to an Audio Track, that matches the channel-count of the file, i.e. mono only to 1-channel Audio Tracks, stereo to 2-channel Audio Tracks, etc. This ARTICLE goes into more detail.
    Now, when one brings a Clip w/ Audio onto the Timeline, from the Project Panel, the Audio will only go to the appropriate Audio Track, but if one does not exist, PrPro will create one of the appropriate channel-count, and it will be located just above the Master.
    If one has the Clip on the Timeline, and they move it, its Audio will ONLY go to an Audio Track with the appropriate channel-count. If, for instance, you have a mono Audio Stream (1-channel) and only oen mono (1-channel) Audio Track, that is where it will go. If you need it elsewhere, because the now location already has Audio on that one Track, you just need to create another mono Audio Track.
    One can also Lock Tracks, both Audio & Video, to keep the Clips on those Tracks "safe."
    Hope that this helps, and good luck,
    Hunt
