Previewing a Movie


You can use Flash to preview your final movie by selecting Play from the Control pull-down menu. You should see veggie sort of sliding across the screen while the pink playhead moves down the timeline. When the playhead gets to the end of the movie, it stops. You should also notice that the balls and text field disappear while veggie makes its journey across the stage. That's because there are no empty frames after the balls' keyframe in their layer of the timeline. You can right-click on the twentieth frame in Layer 1 and select Insert Frame to fix this if you want to.

Caution  

Don't be confused about the differences in testing a movie, playing a timeline, and doing a publish preview. Testing a movie is the easiest way to see what the movie looks like before it's complete. You can see an animation you've done by simply playing the timeline. You can preview what your movie will look like in the browser by doing a publish preview, which is available in the File pull-down menu.
