I'm using cs6.

Can someone tell me how to display all the controls of the timeline window ?

Here's what my one looks like.

All the demos / tutorials show the timeline quite differently there...

I think you want to toggle between frame animation and timeline. In the lower left-hand corner of the palette — next to where yours says "Forever" — is supposed to be a little icon which sort of looks like a bar chart with a triangle on top. Click that. It will convert to the palette shown in the demo.

Why yours doesn't have that I can't say. Try clicking around and see what it needs to activate it.

ETA I found it: in the palette options fly-out, four up from the bottom, select "Convert to video timeline."

Lauren, I really can't find any settings that make the icon you talk about appear. When you hover over the icon, is there a tool-tip that tells you what the icon is called ? – wotney Mar 8 at 11:36
@wotney I found it; see my edit above. – Lauren Ipsum Mar 8 at 13:26
thanks for the update, but I can't see that option. I've uploaded an image so you can check that I'm looking in the place you described... My palette Options – wotney Mar 8 at 13:42
@wotney You are in the right spot, but it's not there. You probably have something weird going on with that specific document. Create a new document and try it with that one. – Lauren Ipsum Mar 8 at 16:51

Hi Anas, welcome to GD.SE and thanks for your contribution! Although it might not be incorrect, this answer doesn't really have any detail. Could you expand it a little more, so it can be helpful for other people? – Yisela♦ Mar 7 at 19:18
Sorry, this really isn't helpful at all. I have already shown that I have my timeline window (which is accessed through the "windows" menu.) – wotney Mar 8 at 9:59
