70 Chapter 2 The Playground
Important: As mentioned previously, changing the duration of a behavior in the
Timeline does not have the same effect on all behaviors. While you can shorten, stop, or
change the rate of the Basic Motion behaviors in the Timeline, you cannot stop or
change the motion of a Simulation behavior in the Timeline. However, you can affect
the rate of a Simulation behavior by changing its duration in the Timeline. Remember,
you cannot control “Mother Nature.”
To stop the Throw using a Parameter behavior:
1 With the object selected, show the Inspector.
2 In the Properties tab, Control-click the Position parameter, then choose Stop from the
Parameter behavior shortcut menu.
3 In the Timeline, click the left end of the Stop behavior and drag toward the right to the
frame where you want the object to stop moving.
