Creating animations
You can create animations by assembling images in an Animation
document and saving as an animated GIF file. The Animation docu-
ment consists of a series of frames, like individual pages. You add
objects to the frames to create an animation sequence. The Document
Layout palette lets you arrange the frames and set their duration.
