FRAMES AND KEYFRAMES

            To organise and control the content of our document, we work with frames in the timeline. Frames
            in the timeline are placed in the same order that we want the objects in the frame to appear in
            the movie at the end.

            A Keyframe is a frame that carries the animation on it. It is used for critical points in the timeline
            where our content changes.
            It includes the code that controls the animation. The black circle indicates the Keyframe on the
            timeline.

                      CREATING AN ANIMATION

            Animation is a sequence of images in a rapid manner that creates the illusion of movement. We
            can create an animation by changing the content of the successive frames. We can make an
            object move across the stage, increase or decrease its size, rotate, change colour, fade in or out
            or transform into different shapes. There are two types of animation: Frame-by-Frame Animation
            and Animation with Tween.
