Chapter 9 Using the Replicator 689
Sequence Control
The Sequence Control section of the Sequence Replicator behavior parameters
contains controls that allow you to modify the way the animation moves through the
replicator pattern, such as changing the direction of the animation.
Sequencing: Specifies how the sequence animation—the value change from the
original parameter value to the value set in the Sequence Replicator parameters—
moves through the elements of the pattern. The starting point for the sequence
animation is based on the selected Origin or Build Style parameters (in the Replicator
parameters). For example, if a line replicator’s Origin parameter is set to End Point, the
sequence animation begins at the end of the line and moves toward the start of the
line by default. To change the starting point for the sequence animation, change the
Origin or Build Style of the pattern in the replicator controls—the Replicator tab or
Dashboard. The Sequencing options are:
• To: 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. For example,
if the original opacity value of a pattern cell is 100 percent, and opacity is set to 0
percent in the Sequence Replicator parameters, the elements begin completely
opaque and become completely transparent.
• From: Specifies that the animation moves from the value set in the Sequence
Replicator behavior to the original value of the cells. For example, if the original
opacity value of a pattern cell is 100 percent, and opacity is set to 0 percent in the
Sequence Replicator parameters, the elements begin completely transparent and
become completely opaque. This is the opposite of the To Sequencing option.
• Through: Specifies that the sequence goes through a full animation cycle starting at
the original value of the cells, moves to the value set in the Sequence Replicator, and
then returns to the original value of the cells. For example, if the original opacity
value of a pattern cell is 100 percent, and opacity is set to 0 percent in the Sequence
Replicator parameters, the elements begin completely opaque, become transparent,
and then become completely opaque again.
• Through Inverted: Specifies that the sequence goes through an inverted animation
cycle starting from the value set in the Sequence Replicator, moves to the original
value of the cells, and then returns to the value set in the Sequence Replicator. For
example, if the original opacity value of a pattern cell is 100 percent, and opacity is
set to 0 percent in the Sequence Replicator parameters, the elements begin
completely transparent, become opaque, and then become completely transparent.
This is the opposite of the Through Sequencing option.
