7. Layers
Just like in Fireworks and Dreamweaver you need to use Layers to organise your work.
Each object that you want to animate needs to be on a different layer
When working with lots of layers, it’s a good idea to rename them so you know which object is on which layer

8. Your turn Draw a person Enter a key frame at point 100
Insert key frames every 2 or 3 frames
Alter/move the image
Repeat until the person moves across the screen

9. Recap What is a frame? What is a key frame?
How could we make it easier to animate the person?
