+====== Add a Frame Object ======
+A Frame is a transparent object which can be used as a "Parent" object in Objects and Animation.
+It can also be thought of as a Rectangle Object with Zero Opacity.
+==== Add the Frame ====
+Click on the Frame Icon to add a Frame.
+{{:en-us:9.0:techniques:frame-01.jpg}}
+    * The Frame is added to the Objects and Animation Screen
+    * The Size of the Frame is the Project Size and it "Fits" the Screen
+    * The Zoom for the Frame is 100% when it Fits the Screen
+    * The Opacity of the Frame is Zero
+==== Multiple Frames ====
+    * Frames can be added to other frames (Parent / Child) and can be renamed in the Common Tab
+{{:en-us:9.0:techniques:frame-02.jpg}}
+    * Using the Multiple Frames approach animation can applied to each frame independently
+    * Pan motion is applied to the Pan Frame
+    * Zoom motion is applied to the Zoom Frame
+    * Rotation is applied to the Rotate Frame
+    * The Object can also be animated independently of the three frames
+{{:en-us:9.0:techniques:frame-03.jpg}}
+    * Frames can be made "Transparent to Selection"
+{{:en-us:9.0:techniques:frame-04.jpg}}
+==== Hierarchy in Parent / Child Relationships ====
+    * Note that in the above example:
+      * The Object is at the "Front"
+      * The Pan Frame is at the "Rear"
+==== Hierarchy in Independent Frames / Objects ====
+    * An Independent Frame or Object which is placed "above" another Independent Frame or Object in the Objects List is also "above" in terms of Selection
+    * "Higher" Independent Frames or Objects in the Objects List need to be made "Transparent to Selection" to be able to Click on and Select "Lower" Independent Frames or Objects
+    * This also applies to Published Exe Files which have HyperLinks on Objects
+==== A frame whose dimensions are different to the project size ====
+When working in the Objects and Animations window it is sometimes advantageous to add a frame, the dimensions of which differ from the project size. An example would be to create a square frame in a 3:2 Project.
+    * Change the Native Size to the desired dimensions
