Note: If you move a Parameter behavior to another object, it is applied to the same
parameter it affected in the previous object—as long as the corresponding parameter
exists. If the parameter does not exist, the parameter assignment (Apply To field) is set
to none.
Dragging a behavior
from one object to
another
You can also duplicate a behavior in place.
To duplicate a behavior
1 Select the behavior you want to duplicate.
2 Do one of the following:
• Choose Edit > Duplicate (or press Command-D).
• Control-click the behavior you want to duplicate, then choose Duplicate from the
shortcut menu.
You can also duplicate a behavior and apply the duplicate to another object in the Layers
tab or Timeline layers list.
To drag a duplicate of a behavior to another object
µ
Option-drag the behavior to the object to which you want to apply the duplicated
behavior.
The duplicated behavior is applied to the second object, and the original behavior is left
in its original location.
When you duplicate an object, you also duplicate all behaviors that have been applied
to it. This way, if you’re creating a project with a number of objects that all need to use
the same behavior, you can simply apply that behavior to the first instance of that object,
and then duplicate that object as many times as necessary.
