Moving the playheadThe playhead moves through the Timeline to indicate the current frame displayed on the Stage. The Timeline header shows the frame numbers of the animation. To display a frame on the Stage, you move the playhead to the frame in the Timeline.
When you're working with a large number of frames that can't all appear on the Timeline at once, you can center the playhead in the Timeline in order to easily locate the current frame.
To go to a frame:
Click the frame's location in the Timeline header, or drag the playhead to the desired position.
To center the playhead in the middle of the movie:
Click the Center Frame button at the bottom of the Timeline.
