o Stage – part of program where the content is created and manipulated.
o Library – used to store frequently used files. o Timeline – used to organize the content o Frame – one individual image in an animation. o Keyframe – indicates where an action is to occur. o Layers – the timeline can be divided into different layers to give the author more control over different elements such as sound and text. |

are programs that work with the browser to expand its capabilities, such as allow it to play video or open certain file types.
|
|
|
Standalone Players

|
Factors that Influence the Delivery of Animations
|
• Bandwidth - the amount of data that can be transmitted over a network in a given amount of time.
• Playback Rate - the number of frames per second that are shown when the animation is played. |
