686 Chapter 9 Using the Replicator
Adjusting the Sequence Control Parameters
Once you have created a sequence animation, you can use the Sequence Control
parameters to change the manner in which the sequence moves through the replicator
pattern. The following section continues with the project used in the previous
examples.
To change the way the sequence moves through the pattern:
1 With the Sequence Replicator behavior selected, display the Behaviors tab in the
Inspector.
2 Play the project (press the Space bar) to better see the effects of the sequencing.
By default, Sequencing is set to “To,” which specifies that the animation begins at the
original value of the cells and moves to the value set in the Sequence Replicator
behavior for that parameter. The starting point for the sequence animation is based on
the build or “origin” of the pattern (as defined in the Origin or Build Style parameters in
the Replicator parameters). In the example project, the elements begin completely
opaque, at 100 percent scale, and with 0 degrees of rotation at the origin of the
pattern. As the sequence moves toward the end of the pattern, the elements become
completely transparent, are scaled to 190 percent, and rotated 160 degrees.
3 In the Sequencing pop-up menu, choose From.
The animation moves from the value set in the Sequence Replicator behavior to the
original value of the cells. This is the opposite of the To Sequencing option.
4 In the Sequencing pop-up menu, choose Through.
