442 Chapter 5 Using Behaviors
 Sawtooth: The Sawtooth wave ramps upward over time and then drops sharply.
For example, when Oscillate is applied to an object’s Opacity parameter, and the
Wave Shape is set to Sawtooth, the object fades in slowly and fades out abruptly
(like using a light dimmer to fade up a light, and then flicking the power switch
off ).
 Triangle: Similar to the sine wave, a triangle wave creates a smooth animation
between values but with sharper changes at the transitions. For example, when
Oscillate is applied to an object’s Opacity parameter, and the Wave Shape is set to
Triangle, the object fades in and out more acutely than the sine wave.
Phase: A slider that lets you adjust the point of the specified oscillation the behavior
starts at. This parameter allows you to put multiple objects with identical Oscillate
behaviors out of phase with one another so that they don’t all look the same.
Amplitude: A slider that lets you adjust the maximum values that the parameter
oscillates between. The parameter swings between the amplitude value and the
negative of the amplitude value. Higher values result in more extreme swings from the
beginning to the ending of each oscillation.
Speed: A slider that lets you adjust the speed at which the oscillation occurs, in
oscillations per minute. Higher values result in faster oscillations.
