440 Chapter 5 Using Behaviors
For example, applying the Negate behavior to the Position parameter of an object with
an animation path applied results in the animation path moving to the opposite
quadrant of the Canvas.
Note: If you want to reverse the motion taking place on an animation path, rather than
flipping the shape of the animation path itself, use the Reverse parameter behavior.
HUD Control
The HUD control allows you to change the parameter assignment.
Parameters in the Inspector
Apply To: The Apply To (“Go”) pop-up menu shows the parameter being affected and
can be used to reassign the behavior to another parameter.

Oscillate
The Oscillate behavior animates a parameter by cycling it between two different values.
You can customize how wide apart the high and low values are as well as the number
of oscillations per minute. The Oscillate behavior can create all kinds of cyclical effects.
For example, if you apply the Oscillate behavior to the rotation property of an object, it
will begin to rock back and forth. This happens because the rotation property cycles
back and forth between the original rotation value plus and minus the Amplitude value
that’s set in the Oscillate behavior.
Applying the Oscillate behavior to the X value of the Scale parameter instead causes
the width of the object to cycle, and it repeatedly stretches and compresses for the
duration of the behavior.
The Oscillate behavior is additive, meaning that the value generated by this behavior is
added to the original value of the parameter to which it’s applied.
