Tutorial 2
Basic Motion Behaviors
Fading in the Logo
As a finishing touch on the logo object, fade in the logo over time.
To apply and modify the logo fade in:
1
Make sure the NatGeoLogo object is selected.
2
In the Toolbar, click the Add Behavior icon, then choose the Fade In/Fade Out behavior
from the Basic Motion submenu.
3
In the Fade In/Fade Out Dashboard, set the logo to fade in over 30 frames and to not
fade out.
4
In the Behaviors tab of the Inspector, set the Start Offset value to 90.
The fade in effect does not begin until frame 90. Since the fade in is set to 30 frames,
the logo is fully opaque by frame 120.
To reorder the graphics layer:
1
In the Layers tab, collapse the graphics layer.
2
Drag the graphics layer below the dolphins layer.
Remember to position the pointer slightly to the left to get the add pointer (the green
“+”) in addition to the position indicator. If you drop the layer here without the add
pointer, the layer is added to the dolphins layer.
The logo and circle object are placed behind the dolphin, title, and box objects.
