A new feature in Flash Professional 8 that lets you add sophisticated visual effects (such as drop shadows) to text and symbol instances. These effects only moderately affect file size.
focus
The state of being active. Usually the last object clicked currently has focus. In Flash, a highlighted layer name indicates both which layer is active and that the Timeline has focus.
framerate
The rate, stated in frames per second (fps), at which the frames in an animation are played back for the user.
frame-by-frame animation
Animation that uses a series of keyframes, with no tweening, that creates a flipbook-like animation Flash file.
