SECTION 6 - Animation, Stage Editor and Action Editor


7] How do I use the Sway Effect?

         Sway is used to make several objects oscillate back and forth
 on their own axis.  You can use it to create underwater grass, or an
 army of those obnoxious red liquid-filled glass birds!

Just create all the objects you want to animate, then group them to a parent axis, load the group in the Stage editor, then add the Sway FX bar in the Action editor. Sway will make all children of a parent object oscillate; the parent is unaffected. The key is in the grouping: using Sway on a single object will do nothing, since the parent is never affected and in this case, there would be no children to affect.
