Chapter 2 The Playground 81
By default, Related Objects is selected in the Vortex Affect parameter. Because the circle
is the only object in the layer, nothing happens. When Related Objects is selected, all
objects that exist in the same layer as the object to which the Vortex behavior is
applied move around the object to which the Vortex behavior is applied.
Change the default Affect parameter setting:
m In the Vortex Dashboard, click the Affect pop-up menu, then choose select All Objects.
When All Objects is chosen, all objects in the project—regardless of the layer in which
they exist—are affected and move around the object to which the Vortex behavior is
applied.
Using the Vortex behavior, there are two ways to create an animation in which only
certain objects (not every object in the project) swirl around the object with the
applied Vortex behavior: (1) Set the Affect parameter to Specific Objects and select
each object that you want to swirl around the target object, or; (2) Move the center
circle object (that has the applied Vortex behavior) into the same layer as the circle
objects, and set the Affect parameter to Related Objects.
When All Objects is selected, all objects in the
project swirl around the object with the applied
behavior.
