(This document covers version 1.0.2 of the 'Graduated Incrementor' behavior, current as of 2005-Aug-04)
Description
This behavior mimics the feedback shown by the ‘volume’ indicator on most TVs. It allows you to move the value of a property between a minimum and maximum value over a discrete number of steps.
This behavior only affects the property when the
Increment
or
Decrement
actions are invoked (either via an action in the Studio interface or by calling the
increment()
or
decrement()
methods of this behavior directly).
When invoking either action, you may specify the number of steps to take; the default is one step.
The
Property Name
parameter is evaluated as a child of the parent object. (For example, “scale.z” refers to z attribute of the scale property of the parent object to which this behavior is attached.)
