RE: FLASH: simple flash 5 question (is: moving keys)

For the timeline you don't need a "edit multiple frames" mode because you 

can always edit multiple frames (move them around etc.) simply by selecting 

them.

So turning on  "edit multiple frames" mode should automatically result in 

the focus being set to the stage objects rather than the timeline. Clicking 

on edit multiple frames actually sets the focus on the timeline objects AND 

on stage but only for the objects in the playback cursors location. This is 

not very logical in my opinion.
