Using the timeline navigator

The timeline navigator displays the name of the highest level timeline displayed in the Timeline window. Usually, this is the composition's timeline. However, if you double-click a movie clip object or movie clip group's timeline to display and work within that timeline, its name is displayed in the timeline navigator. You can use the navigator to move back up in the hierarchy to the composition's timeline.

For more information on movie clips and movie clip groups, see Working with movie clips and Looping animated movie clips and movie clip groups.
