Because browsers play every frame regardless of the frame rate setting, increasing the frame rate
does not necessarily make your animations smoother. A better way to create smooth animations
is to drag the end keyframe farther out, which increases the number of frames used by your animation.
The next two checkboxes, Autoplay and Loop, affect how the animation is played.
Autoplay
If you enable the Autoplay option, the timeline begins playing as soon as the Web page is fully downloaded.
Dreamweaver alerts you to this arrangement by telling you that the Play Timeline action is attached to an
onLoad event. Autoplay is achieved by inserting code that looks similar to the following into the tag:

CAUTION CAUTION
Rewind
Back

Adding Advanced Design Features Part III
If you don??™t use the Autoplay feature, you must attach the Play Timeline action to another event
and tag, such as onClick and a button graphic. Otherwise, the timeline will not play. Note that
if your Show Events For option is set to 3.0 and Later Browsers, the only available event is onMouseOver. To
make onClick and other events available, change the Show Events For to 4.0 and Later Browsers by choosing
Add (+) from the Behaviors panel, then selecting Show Events For ??? 4.
