So far, so good. You have your ball on the Artboard and your animation timeline going. Before you continue, though, this is a good time to switch to another workspace. We tell you why and how in the next section.

Switching to the Animation workspace

When you are working with animations, you need to specify how an object looks or where it is positioned during different points in time, and you may need to display the timeline for a fairly long time. When you display the Objects and Timeline panel to the left of the Artboard, very little space is left on the screen to display a large timeline. To solve this problem, Expression Blend comes with a preconfigured Animation workspace. To switch to this workspace, choose Window⇒Workspaces⇒Animation.

The workspace now looks like Figure 8-3, making it more conducive to working with animations because it places the Objects and Timeline panel under the Artboard and gives you more space to work with the timeline.

You can also press F6 to quickly switch among different workspaces and to switch to the Animation workspace.
