Show Behaviors button: Appears at the bottom of the Layers tab and Timeline, and 
lets you show or hide all behaviors. This button neither enables nor disables behaviors 
that have been applied to objects in your project; it only controls their visibility.
Copying, Pasting, and Moving Behaviors
After you have added behaviors to an object, there are a number of ways you can copy 
and move them among the other items in the Timeline or Layers tab.
Behaviors can be cut, copied, and pasted like any other item in Motion. When you cut 
or copy a behavior in the Timeline or Layers tab, you also copy the current state of all 
that behavior’s parameters.
To cut or copy a behavior:
1
Select a behavior.
2
Do one of the following:
 Choose Edit > Cut (or press Command-X) to remove the behavior and place it on the
Clipboard.
 Choose Edit > Copy (or press Command-C) to leave the behavior there and copy it to
the Clipboard.
To paste a behavior:
1
Select an object onto which you want to paste the behavior.
2
Choose Edit > Paste (or press Command-V).
The cut or copied behavior is applied to the selected object, with all its parameter 
settings intact.
You can also move a behavior from one object to another in the Layers tab or Timeline 
layers list by simply dragging it to a new position. 
To transfer a behavior from one object to another:
m
In the Layers tab or Timeline layers list, drag a behavior from one object and drop it on 
top of another.
Show Behaviors button is enabled.
