Some boxes ask where something should appear. They all work the same way:

• This frame only: just the frame you are standing on.
• All frames: every frame of your animation.
• From frame to frame: type the first and the last frame number. From 1 to 6 means frames 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and nothing else.

Where you find these boxes: in a character's settings (“1 · Choose frames”), in the Gallery at the top (“Add to”) and in the text settings (“Show text on frames”). Each one tells you how many frames you have and which frame you are on.
