Getting information about behaviors

Behaviors included with Director have pop-up descriptions that appear when you hold the pointer over a behavior in the Library palette. Some behaviors, however, have longer descriptions and instructions, which you can view in the Behavior inspector. A scrolling pane in the Behavior inspector displays the complete description provided by the behavior's author. The Behavior inspector only displays information about a behavior attached to a sprite or frame.

To view a behavior description:

  1. Open the Behavior inspector.
  2. Select a sprite or frame to which a behavior has been attached.
  3. Click the arrow that expands the Behavior inspector's description pane.

    You can leave the description pane expanded and select different behaviors to see their descriptions.



All of the behaviors included in the Director library have descriptions. Behaviors from other developers may not.
