Playing Animation Scenes
To play a scene:
1. If the Animator window is not already open, select Tools > Animator from the menu bar.
2. Select the scene you want to play in the scene view, and click the Play button on the Animator
toolbar.
Note:
You can also click the Play button on the Animation toolbar to play back your animation
scenes.
To adjust the animation playback:
1. If the Animator window is not already open, select Tools > Animator from the menu bar.
2. Select the desired scene in the scene view.
3. Use the Loop, P.P., and Infinite check boxes to adjust the way your scene will play.
If you want the scene to play back continuously, select the Loop check box. When the animation
reaches the end, it will reset back to the start and run again.
If you want the scene to play in ping-pong mode, select the P.P. check box. When the animation
reaches the end, it will run backwards until it reaches the start. This will only happen once, unless
you also select the Loop check box.
If you want the scene to play indefinitely (i.e., until the Stop button is pressed), select the
Infinite check box. If this check box is clear, the scene will play until its end point is reached.
Note:
Selecting this check box disables the Loop and P.P. check boxes.
4. If necessary, use the Active, Loop, and P.P. check boxes to adjust the playback of the individual
scene components.
Note:
Only active animations will play.
