The behavior is applied to the object, but no parameter is assigned to the behavior.
2 To assign a specific parameter to the Parameter behavior, do one of the following:
Select the Parameter behavior, then choose a parameter from the Apply To pop-up
menu in the HUD.
Select the Parameter behavior, then choose a Parameter behavior from the Apply To
pop-up menu in the Behaviors Inspector.
The parameter to which the behavior is applied appears in the Apply To text field.
Note: If you save a Parameter behavior as a favorite, the parameter assignment is saved
with the rest of that behaviors settings. As a result, the saved behavior will affect the
same parameters of any object it is applied to.
Where Parameter Behaviors Appear
Like other behaviors, Parameter behaviors appear nested underneath the objects they’re
applied to in the Layers list and Timeline, along with any other behaviors applied to that
object.
Note: Although Parameter behaviors appear nested under objects in the Layers list, each
Parameter behavior is applied to a single parameter of an object, and not the object itself.
The Oscillate parameter behavior icon in the following screenshot includes an image
similar to a funnel. The funnel represents the channeling” of individual parameters.
The same icon is used for the representation of Parameter behaviors in the Timeline.
Control-clicking a parameters name in the Inspector, or clicking the pop-up menu at the
right of a parameter opens the Animation menu. The Animation menu displays the names
of behaviors applied to that parameter. Choosing a behavior opens the Behaviors Inspector.
