When a behavior is applied to an object, the object parameters affected by that behavior
are automatically animated based on the behavior’s default settings. For example, if you
apply the Gravity behavior to an object in the Canvas, that object’s position is animated
and it moves down, according to the Gravity behavior’s default setting.

Default Behavior Duration

In most cases, a behavior’s duration is the Timeline duration of the object to which it is
applied. For example, if you apply a Spin behavior to an object that begins at frame 20
and ends at frame 300, the Spin behavior’s duration is also frame 20 to frame 300. For
information on trimming the duration of a behavior, see

Trimming Behaviors

.

Removing Behaviors

Because behaviors don’t add keyframes, removing a behavior instantly eliminates its
animated effect. All types of behaviors are removed in the same way.

To remove a behavior from an object

1

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

In this example, the
Gravity behavior is
selected in the Behaviors
tab of the Inspector.

2

Do one of the following:

• Choose Edit > Delete.

• Control-click the behavior in the Layers tab or Timeline, then choose Delete from the

shortcut menu.

• Press Delete.
