682 Chapter 9 Using the Replicator
To apply a Sequence behavior to a replicator, do one of the following:
m In the Layers tab or Timeline Layer list, select the replicator to which you want to apply
the Sequence behavior. In the Toolbar, click the Add Behavior icon and choose
Replicator > Sequence Replicator.
m In the Library, select the Behaviors category, and then the Replicator subcategory. Drag
the Sequence Replicator behavior from the stack to the replicator object in the Layers
tab, Canvas, or Timeline Layer list.
The Sequence Replicator controls appear in the Behaviors tab of the Inspector, and the
Sequence Replicator Dashboard becomes active.
At the top of the Sequence Replicator controls in the Inspector are the Parameter pop-
up menus, which are used to add parameters to the behavior, or to remove them once
they’ve been added. The added parameters determine which properties are animated.
Underneath the Parameter pop-up menus are the Sequence Control parameters, which
determine how the added parameters affect the onscreen elements. These controls
include options for setting the direction of the animation, whether the animation is
applied per element or to the whole pattern, the number of times the animation cycles
through the pattern, and so on.
Important: Before any sequencing animation can occur, you must explicitly add at least
one parameter to the behavior from within the Inspector or Dashboard, and then set a
value for that parameter. Until a parameter is added, adjustments in the Dashboard
have no effect.
