528 Chapter 7 Using Text
Modifying the Crawl Left Behavior
Use the Crawl Left parameters to modify the speed, start offset, and end offset of the
crawl. With the exception of parameters added to the Sequence Text behavior, all Text
Animation behavior parameters appear in the Dashboard and in the Behaviors tab of
the Inspector.
Rate: Increases or decreases the rate of the crawl. By default, Rate is set to 10 (pixels
per second). A higher rate increases the speed of the crawl, so the text object travels a
greater distance over time; a lower rate slows the crawl.
Note: Although the Rate slider value is limited to 100, you can enter a higher value in
the value slider.
Position Offset: Offsets the start position of the text object. By default, the crawl
animation begins at the original position of the text object. To move the text object
further to the right at the start of the animation, enter a higher number in the Position
Offset field. For example, to move the text object 80 pixels to the right, drag the
Position Offset slider to 80 or enter 80 in the value slider.
Note: Although the slider value is limited to 100, you can enter a higher value in the
Offset value slider.
