If you're seeking f-curves in the timeline, they aren't there. It's easier

to think of the timeline in Flash as a traditional animator's

celulloid/acetate layout system, rather than as a parameter-based timeline

as you'd find in 3D tools: you can put various things on layers, and apply

a tweening motion to any of these layers.
