Key frames are like the slides in a PowerPoint slideshow. They keep mark the movie progress. The drawing toolbar has many ways to make a picture with Flash. With the property tool, you can set the image size and position, among other things. Click the items to the left to get familiar with Flash's features.
Flash Environment
Flash has three main parts: the stage, the timeline, and the tool palettes. On the left is the drawing tool palette. On the right, the transforming palette. At the bottom is the property palette. In the middle is the stage, where the image shows up. The timeline shows how the movie runs. It has frames and layers. Combining all of these, we can create a flash animation (called a .swf file).
