Important: Before any sequencing animation can occur, you must add at least one
parameter to the behavior in the Inspector and then set a value for that parameter. Until
a parameter is added, adjusting the Sequence Controls in the HUD or Inspector has no
effect.
Adding Parameters to the Sequence Replicator Behavior
In the following example, the Rotation, Opacity, and Scale parameters are added to the
Sequence Replicator behavior. The behavior is applied to a replicator with its Shape set
to Burst and its Origin set to Center.

To add and animate parameters in the Sequence Replicator behavior
1 With the Sequence Replicator behavior selected, display the Behaviors Inspector.
2 In the Parameter row, do the following:
a Choose Rotation from the Add Parameter pop-up menu.
b Choose Opacity from the Add Parameter pop-up menu.
c Choose Scale from the Add Parameter pop-up menu.
The added parameters appear above the Add and Remove pop-up menus. No animation
occurs until you set a value for the parameters.
Play the project (press the Space bar) to see the effects of the sequencing adjustments
as they begin to take effect in the next steps.
3 Ensure that Record Animation is turned off (no checkmark appears when you choose
Mark > Record Animation, or the Record button in the toolbar is turned off).
4 Set Rotation to the largest (or smallest) value you want the cells to spin in the animation.
In this example, Rotation is set to 160 degrees.
