	An Animation Resource is recognized by the orange running man in the Content Browser. To open the animation and access its meta data there are 2 ways you can do this. Both have the same outcome and technically it should not matter how you open it, but for each way has it's own advantage and disadvantage. This is illustrated in bullet A) and B) on this page.

	There are different types of textkeys and each of them have their own function. Their properties will also change depending on which type you select. The color coded you see for each is how you will see them in the engine as well.		There are different types of textkeys and each of them have their own function.
