Monkey Jam?

Has anyone used this free traditional animation program to make they're animations on?

if so i have a few questions ( they may be able to be answered without any knowledge of this program)

my first question is about having scene's with multiple characters in it.
do you animate the characters separately and then put them together through different layers? or draw out each characters movements on the same piece of paper?

and how would you insert a background image? just add the background image as the last layer?

thanks

Even though I've never used this programme, I'd well advise to put different characters on different layers, yes. That way, if you need to tweak any animation and the characters cross paths, you only need to alter the necessary character, not re-draw any of the others for any number of reasons. The background would probably be the bottom layer, behind everything else. I'm assuming you can change the layer order.
