Behavior actions for controlling
layers timelines
Attach the behavior actions listed here to a link, button, or other object to control
timelines and layers. To create interesting effects, you can place behaviors
containing these actions in the Behaviors channel. For example, you can make a
timeline stop itself. For more information, see “Attaching a behavior to a timeline”
on page 442 and “Using Behaviors” on page 435.
Drag Layer
lets the user drag a layer. Use this action to create puzzles, slider controls,
and other moveable user interface elements. See “Drag Layer” on page 451.
Show-Hide Layers
shows, hides, or restores the default visibility of one or more
layers. This action is useful for showing information as the user interacts with the
page. See “Show-Hide Layers” on page 465.
Play Timeline and Stop Timeline
let users start and stop a timeline by clicking a
link or button. These actions can also start and stop a timeline automatically when
the user rolls over a link, image, or other object. See “Play Timeline and Stop
Timeline” on page 469.
Go To Timeline Frame
causes the timeline to jump to a certain frame. The
Loop check box in the Timelines panel adds the Go To Timeline Frame
action after the last frame of the animation, causing it to go to frame 1 and
start the animation again. See “Go to Timeline Frame” on page 468.
Set Text of Layer
replaces the content and formatting of an existing layer on a
page with the content you specify. The content can include any valid HTML. See
“Set Text of Layer” on page 462.
