Set the rate and direction of the Throw.
•
Click in the center of the Dashboard and drag outward in the direction you want the
object to move.
•
The smaller the arrow, the slower the rate of the Throw. To increase the rate of the
Throw once the arrow is dragged to the limit, drag the Zoom slider to zoom out of
the Dashboard controls then drag again.
Once you set the direction and rate of the Throw, the projected motion path of the
behavior is displayed onscreen. The motion path for a behavior is different than an
animation path created by keyframing an object. A behavior’s motion path helps you
see what kind of movement an applied behavior creates for the object to which it is
applied. With the exception of the Motion Path behavior, the behavior motion paths
cannot be modified onscreen. Animation paths created by keyframing can be changed
by adjusting, adding, or removing control points. For more information on keyframed
animation paths, see “
Creating Keyframes in the Canvas
Note: You can enable and disable the animation path display in the View pop-up menu
located just below the right side of the Toolbar.
