Working With Behaviors

This section describes how to enable, rename, lock, duplicate, move, and reorganize
behaviors in your project. These procedures apply to every type of behavior.

Enabling, Renaming, and Locking Behaviors

When you apply a behavior to an object, it appears in three different places—the
Layers tab, the Timeline, and the Behaviors tab of the Inspector.

While the Behaviors tab in the Inspector contains all of the editable parameters for a
behavior that’s been applied to an object, the Layers tab and Timeline have several
controls for each behavior.

Activation checkbox: Turns each individual behavior on or off. Behaviors that are
turned off have no effect on the object to which they’re applied.

Name: Double-click this field to rename the behavior.

Lock: Click the lock control to lock or unlock a behavior. You cannot modify the
parameters of a locked behavior.

Enable/disable behaviors control: A Behaviors icon (a gear) appears to the right of the
name of each object with one or more behaviors applied to it. Clicking this icon
toggles all behaviors applied to that object on and off.

Enable/disable behaviors control is disabled.
