Using the playback and sound controls

The top left of the Timeline window contains playback and sound buttons for viewing your animation. In addition, sound objects have an associated sound icon in the keyframe column that lets you specify whether an individual sound plays.

To use the playback controls:

Do one of the following:

• Click the Play/Pause button  to toggle between playing and pausing the animation.
• Click the Forward One Frame button  or the Backward One Frame button  to move by a single frame in the animation.
• Click the Beginning button  or the End button  to go to the beginning or end of the animation.
• Click the Sound button to turn the sound on or off for all sounds in the animation. This control does not affect whether sounds are exported to SWF.
• Click the Sound icon in the eye column to turn a particular sound on or off. Turning an individual sound off prevents a sound from exporting to SWF unless the sound is made attachable with the Export palette. See the Adobe LiveMotion 2.0 Scripting Guide for details.
