The Parameter behavior is added and appears above the Sequence Replicator behavior
in the Behaviors tab. A Parameter behavior icon appears in the Animation menu of the
Sequence Replicator parameter.

Note: When the Wriggle or Randomize Parameter behavior is added to a Sequence
Replicator parameter, the Affect Subobjects checkbox becomes available. Select the
checkbox if you want each element in the pattern to display a different random behavior.

Using Behaviors with Replicators

As with all layers in Motion, you can apply Basic Motion, Parameter, and Simulation
behaviors to a replicator or to its cells.

Only the Throw and Spin behaviors (from the Basic Motion subcategory) can be applied
to the replicator cell layer. All behaviors from the Basic Motion subcategory can be applied
to the replicator layer.

As previously noted, the replicator also has a special behavior called Sequence Replicator,
which allows you to animate the individual cells in sequence over time. For more
information on the Sequence Replicator behavior, see

behavior, see
