Adobe Animate wont let me move the playhead along the frames, just stuck at frame 1

[Jonathan291903659ua2]

I recently opened Animate for a uni project. I created a new file and imported audio but before it doesnt allow me to move the blue playhead along the timeline, its just stuck on frame one. Help please

copy a screenshot of the problematic timeline and paste it (don't attach it) here.

then explain how you're trying to move the playhead. eg, by using your mouse to click in another frame? or using the timeline play button? or something else?

The small blue playhead just at the bottom. Im trying to click and drag it along the frames but it doesn't move left or right, it just stays on frame 1. Even if I hit the play button it doesn't play through the frames.

you only have one frame in that timeline (which contains nothing).  right click another frame in that timeline and click add frame or add keyframe.

oh, sorry im new to this, I see now. I've been so used to animating 3D on Maya, so when I came on this I treated it similarly. Thanks for the help

no need to apologize.  that's the point (helping each other) of these forums.

and, you're welcome.
