78 Chapter 2 The Playground
To use the Orbit Around behavior:
1 Apply the Orbit Around behavior to the object (or group of objects) that you want to
circle around a target object.
In this case, the Orbit Around behavior is applied to the group of objects (circles) in the
project. The orange circle in the center of the Canvas is in a separate layer from the rest
of the objects.
When the Orbit Around behavior is first applied, no animation occurs. This is because
you must specify the object that the other objects orbit around. To set the target
object, the object is dragged from the Layers tab to the Object well in the Orbit Around
Dashboard or Inspector.
