Chapter 9 Using the Replicator 695
The Location parameter becomes available.
4 Enable Record (press A).
5 At the frame where you want to begin the animation, drag the Location slider (or use
the value slider) to set where the sequence begins.
As you drag the slider, the sequence moves through the pattern elements. Values
displayed in the Location parameter specify where in the pattern the sequence is (in
percentage points)—0 representing the origin of the pattern, and 100 percent
representing the end of the pattern.
In the Inspector, a keyframe is added to the Location parameter.
6 Go to the next frame where you want to set a keyframe, and move the Location slider.
7 Repeat step 6 until you have created all of your keyframes.
8 Play the project (press the Space bar).
The animation moves through the replicator pattern based on its keyframed locations.
In this case, the scale moves erratically back and forth around the circle, rather than in a
constant direction.
Using Parameter Behaviors With the Sequence Replicator Behavior
Like all other objects in Motion, you can add Parameter behaviors to the Sequence
Replicator parameters to create even more varied, complex effects without keyframing.
When Traversal is set to Custom, the Location parameter
becomes available. Use the Location slider to keyframe
how the sequence moves through the replicator pattern.
