• To sequence the rotation of the text, rotate the selected glyph in the Canvas. To display
the rotation controls, hold the Command key down. For more information on using
onscreen transform controls, see 3D Transform Onscreen Controls.
In this example, the text is rotated on its Y axis. In the Behaviors Inspector, the Rotation
parameter is added to the Format category (above the Add and Remove pop-up menus).
• To sequence the scale of the text, scale the selected glyph in the Canvas by dragging
a scale handle. (To scale the text uniformly, press Shift while dragging the scale handle
in the Canvas.)
In the Behaviors Inspector, the Scale parameter is added to the Format category (above
the Add and Remove pop-up menus).
2 Play the project (press Space bar).
Note that in the Controls section of the Behaviors Inspector, the Sequencing pop-up
menu is set to From, the default setting. As a result, upon playback, the text in your project
moves from the value in the Position parameter to the original value (the position of the
text before you dragged it in the Canvas).
For more information on Sequence Text parameters, see Sequence Text Controls.
Note: When using the Sequence Text behavior, glyphs are selected with the Adjust Item
tool rather than the Transform Glyph tool. For more information on the Transform Glyph
tool, see Working with Text Glyphs.
