Working With Text

The border is set to this darker color. Although the border is barely visible in the Canvas
at this moment, it becomes more apparent once the Sequence behavior is applied and
configured in the following steps.

Applying the Sequence Behavior

Next, you apply the Text Sequence behavior and add parameters for it to affect.

To apply the Text Sequence behavior:

1

Make sure that the text object is selected in the Canvas, click the Add Behavior icon in
the Toolbar, then choose Text Animation > Sequence Text from the pop-up menu.

The Sequence Text behavior is applied to the text object, and the Behaviors tab of the
Inspector appears. Since this behavior requires further settings, nothing changes in the
Canvas.

In order for the Sequence Text behavior to have an effect, you must select the
parameter you want to modify.

2

In the Parameter section, choose Format > Scale from the Add pop-up menu.

The Scale parameter is added to the Behaviors tab.
