=FLASH ANIMATION - SETUP= BEFORE you start animating, it's CRUCIAL that you establish a few "specifications" for your final product:
 * What should the STAGE SIZE be?
 * What shoud the FRAMERATE be?

Anything else (background colour, symbols) can be upgraded AFTER animating, but altering these two "specs" after starting animation can be disasterous. The default FRAMERATE is 12 frames per second
 * ==Framerate==

Double click on that indicator to open up the settings dialogue || || A good set of specs for most animations would be:
 * ==Dimensions==

(This is the shape of oldschool TV's and Computer Monitors - 800x450 would fit Widescreen better)
 * Dimensions: 640x480**

(This is a minimal "film quality" animation standard - video standard would be 30 fps
 * Frame Rate: 24**

Stick to these specs for all your animations unless told otherwise, just for the sake of uniformity || ||
