The above example covers only a portion of the options in the Sequence Text behavior. Using
the behavior’s parameters, you can create a nearly endless variety of sequences. You can define
the speed in which the sequence moves through the text, as well as whether the sequence
moves through the text per character, word, or line. You can also change the direction of the

randomization can also be added to values defined in the behavior. For more information on
these controls, see
on page 688.
