In this example, the text is rotated on its Y axis. In the Behaviors tab, the Rotation
parameter is automatically added to the Format category Format category (above the
Add and Remove parameter pop-up menus).
• To sequence the scale of the text, scale the selected glyph in the Canvas by dragging
a scale handle. (To scale the text uniformly, press Shift while dragging the scale handle
in the Canvas.)
In the Behaviors tab, the Scale parameter is automatically added to the Format category
(above the Add and Remove parameter pop-up menus).
Note that in the Controls section of the Behaviors tab, the Sequencing pop-up menu
is set to “From,” the default setting. As a result, upon playback, the text in your project
moves from the value in the Position parameter to the original value (the position of
the text before you dragged it in the Canvas).
