Questions tagged [enterframeevent]

EnterFrame event is used in ActionScript programming. The main purpose of this event is to generate animations pro-grammatically. This event is triggered based on FPS (i.e Frames Per Second) a term used in animation. e.g. Say FPS=30 fps, then this event will be triggered 30 times per second thus simulating frames.
