To position and animate the squares:
1 In the Layers tab, select the GreenSquares layer.
2 In the Canvas, center the GreenSquares layer over the dolphin title.
3 To deselect the GreenSquares layer, press Shift+Command+A.
4 In the Library, select the Behaviors category, then select the Simulations subcategory.
5 In the stack, select the Repel behavior.
Like all behaviors, a preview of the animation plays in the Preview area.
6 Drag the Repel behavior to the middle square of the GreenSquares layer in the Canvas.
7 While holding the mouse button down, position and hold the pointer over the center
square (the dark green object). When the square’s outline becomes highlighted, release
the mouse button.
The Repel behavior is applied to the center square, and the surrounding squares move
rapidly away. By default, the Affect parameter is set to Related Objects. When Related
Objects is selected, all objects that exist in the same layer as the object to which the
Repel behavior is applied move away from that object.
