 The timeline flap should consist of:
  * a channel for every text frame on the page with a label.
- * a subchannel for the frame's visibility property.
+ * a subchannel for the frame's visibility property (ideally, subchannels could be hidden to save space)
  * a playhead that can be moved across the timeline from 0:00 to 1:00.
  * a control bar for the selected subchannel with two fields and four buttons:

 Future revisions of this task will allow starting a timeline from a link; this task only includes manipulating the timeline via the timeline interface in Author to show and hide text frames.
 
+A wireframe:

   [[Image(source:/branches/private/danvisel/sophie2-platform/doc/spec-diagrams/TimelineWireframe.png)]]
+
+Each text frame on the page has a channel with a triangle next to it (like Frame B, Frame C, Frame D); if these are opened (like in Frame A), the properties of the frame show up. For this revision, it's just visibility. The channels can be selected; in this wireframe, Frame A's visibility is selected. (In the future, we'll want multiple selection.)
+
+The control bar of the timeline interface has fields for start point, end point, and four buttons. If the user enters 0:10-0:20 and clicks the "Show" button, the frame will be shown from 0:10-0:20. If the user enters 0:10-0:20 and clicks the "Hide" button, the frame will be hidden from 0:10-0:20. If the user clicks the "Show All" button, the frame will be shown from 0:00-1:00.
+
+Below the control bar is the slider (the orange arrow); this can be dragged back and forth by the user.
