To sequence the rotation of the text, rotate the selected glyph in the Canvas. To display the
rotation controls, hold the Command key down. For more information on using onscreen
transform controls, see
on page 910.
In this example, the text is rotated on its Y axis. In the Behaviors Inspector, the Rotation
parameter is added to the Format category (above the Add and Remove pop-up menus).
•
To sequence the scale of the text, scale the selected glyph in the Canvas by dragging a scale
handle. (To scale the text uniformly, press Shift while dragging the scale handle in the Canvas.)
In the Behaviors Inspector, the Scale parameter is added to the Format category (above the
Add and Remove pop-up menus).

Play the project (press Space bar).
Note that in the Controls section of the Behaviors Inspector, the Sequencing pop-up menu is set
to From, the default setting. As a result, upon playback, the text in your project moves from the
value in the Position parameter to the original value (the position of the text before you dragged
it in the Canvas).
For more information on Sequence Text parameters, see
on page 688.
Note: When using the Sequence Text behavior, glyphs are selected with the Adjust Item tool
rather than the Transform Glyph tool. For more information on the Transform Glyph tool, see
on page 669.
