Chapter 5

Using Behaviors

When you play the project at this point, you can see that the hour hand and minute
hand rotate clockwise at rates replicating the relative movement of real clock hands.

Tip: To make the hands of the clock appear to “tick,” you can apply the Quantize
Parameter behavior to the Rotation parameter of the hands and adjust the Step Size to
accommodate your animation.

Now it’s time to make the pendulum swing. You should have already adjusted its
anchor point to be at the top. This way, the bottom pendulum layer will swing properly.

7

Select the pendulum layer, Control-click the Rotation parameter in the Behaviors tab,
then choose Oscillate from the shortcut menu.

8

In the Behaviors tab, set the Oscillate behavior’s amplitude to 20.

The pendulum layer doesn’t swing so widely.

9

Increase the speed to 50.
