Character

A Character is a collection of drawing instructions for one identifiable unit on the Timeline. If the canvas element is a stage play, a Character would be considered an actor.

Defaults

• Characters are hidden as soon as they're instantiated.

• A Character's first sequence is "main". The starting frame for this sequence is 0.

• For each sequence, the xinc value -- the Character's horizontal distance from the origin -- is 0.

• Each Character has a boundary property that stores the coordinates of its perimeter for mouseover detection.

Triggers

• Actions can be attached to any of a Character's frames, in an array stored in the triggers property.
