Add a Timeline effect
When you add a Timeline effect to an object, Flash creates a layer and transfers the object to the new layer. The object is placed inside the effect graphic, and all tweens and transformations required for the effect reside in the graphic on the newly created layer.
The new layer automatically receives the same name as the effect, appended with a number that represents the order in which the effect is applied, out of all effects in your document.
When you add a Timeline effect, a folder with the effect’s name is added to the library, containing elements used in creating the effect.

-
- View the effect preview based on default settings. Modify the default settings, and click Update Preview to view the effect with the new settings.
- When the desired Timeline effect appears in the preview window, click OK.
