Modifying timelines
After defining a timeline’s basic components, you can make changes such as
adding and removing frames, changing the start time of the animation, and so on.
To modify a timeline, do any of the following:
•
To make the animation play longer, drag the end frame marker to the right. All
the keyframes in the animation shift so that their relative positions remain
constant. To prevent the other keyframes from moving, press Alt (Windows) or
Option (Macintosh) while dragging the end frame marker.
•
To make the layer reach the keyframe position earlier or later, move the
keyframe marker left or right in the bar.
•
To change the start time of an animation, select one or all of the bars associated
with the animation (press Shift to select more than one bar at a time) and
drag left or right.
•
To shift the location of an entire animation path, select the entire bar and
then drag the object on the page. Dreamweaver adjusts the position of all
keyframes. Making any type of change with an entire bar selected changes
all the keyframes.
•
To add or remove frames in the Timeline, choose Modify > Timeline > Add
Frame or Modify > Timeline > Remove Frame.
•
To make the timeline play automatically when the page opens in a browser,
click Autoplay. Autoplay attaches a behavior to the page that executes the Play
Timeline action when the page loads.
•
To make the timeline loop continuously, click Loop. Loop inserts the Go To
Timeline Frame action in the Behaviors channel after the last frame of the
animation. You can edit the parameters for this behavior to define the
number of loops.
