Applying a Throw Behavior
Now you apply a Throw behavior to the “lioness” objects to move them across the
screen.
To apply a Throw behavior:
1 In the Layers tab, select the layer containing the two lioness clips.
2 Click the Add Behavior icon in the Toolbar, then choose Basic Motion > Throw from the
pop-up menu.
The Dashboard changes to show the Throw control.
3 In the Dashboard, drag the center point of the Throw control to the right. Pressing the
Shift key constrains the Throw arrow to 45-degree increments.
The direction of the arrow indicates the direction the object travels. The size of the
arrow indicates the speed at which it travels. You can view these same controls
numerically by looking in the Inspector.
4 Click the Inspector button in the upper-right corner of the Dashboard.
The Throw behavior parameters appear in the Inspector.
5 In the Inspector, click the disclosure triangle to expand the Throw Velocity parameter.
6 Set the X velocity to 80 and confirm that the Y velocity is still set to 0.
