Parameters in the Inspector
Affect Subobjects: This parameter appears when Spin is applied to an object that
contains multiple objects, such as a group, particle emitter, or text. When this checkbox
is turned on, each object within the layer or group rotates as an individual object.
When this checkbox is turned off, the entire layer or group spins.
Increment: This pop-up menu lets you choose how the behavior’s effect progresses
over its duration in the Timeline. There are two choices:
 Continuous Rate: This command uses the Spin Rate parameter to spin the object by
a steady number of degrees per second.
 Ramp to Final Value: This command spins the object for the number of degrees
specified in the Spin To parameter over the behavior’s duration in the Timeline.
Spin Rate/Spin To: A dial controlling the speed at which the object spins. When
Increment is set to Continuous Rate, the Spin Rate defines a continuous rate of spin in
degrees per second. When Increment is set to Ramp to Final Value, Spin To defines a
number of degrees to spin over that object’s duration. Negative values result in
clockwise motion, while positive values result in counterclockwise motion.
Axis: A pop-up menu that allows you to choose whether the object spins about the X,
Y, or Z axis. You can also choose Custom, which yields additional Longitude and
Latitude parameters.
