Note: If you move a Parameter behavior to another object, it is applied to the same
parameter it affected in the previous object—as long as the corresponding parameter
exists. If the parameter does not exist, the parameter assignment (Apply To field) is set
to none.
Dragging a behavior from
one object to another
You can also duplicate a behavior in place.
To duplicate a behavior
1 Select the behavior to duplicate.
2 Do one of the following:
• Choose Edit > Duplicate (or press Command-D).
• Control-click the behavior to duplicate, then choose Duplicate from the shortcut menu.
You can also duplicate a behavior and apply the duplicate to another object in the Layers
list or Timeline.
To drag a duplicate of a behavior to another object
µ
Option-drag the behavior to the object to apply the duplicated behavior to.
The duplicated behavior is applied to the second object, and the original behavior is left
in its original location.
When you duplicate an object, you also duplicate all behaviors applied to it. This way, if
you’re creating a project with a number of objects that use the same behavior, you can
apply that behavior to the first instance of that object, and then duplicate that object as
many times as necessary.
Applying Multiple Behaviors to an Object
There is no limit to the number of behaviors you can add to an object. When multiple
behaviors are applied to a single object, they all work together to create a final animated
effect.
