Add, remove, and disable standard behaviors

Applying a behavior to an object instantly animates specific parameters of that object. Because behaviors don’t add keyframes, removing a behavior instantly eliminates the animated effect. All types of behaviors are removed in the same way.

Apply a behavior to an object

Do one of the following:

Apply a behavior to multiple objects

  1. Select all objects to apply the behavior to.

    In the Layers list, Canvas, or Timeline, Shift-click to select a contiguous set of objects, or Command-click to select noncontiguous objects.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • In the toolbar, click the Add Behavior pop-up menu, then choose a behavior.

    • Select a behavior in the Library stack, then click Apply in the preview area.

Remove a behavior from an object

  1. Select a behavior in the Layers list, Timeline, Behaviors Inspector, or pop-up menu in the title bar of the HUD.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • Choose Edit > Delete.

    • Press Delete.

      Note: You can also Control-click a behavior in the Layers list or Timeline, then choose Delete from the shortcut menu.
