The three behaviors always deployed for timelines are Play Timeline, Stop Timeline, and Go To
Timeline Frame.
If you are not using the Autoplay feature for your timeline, you must explicitly attach a Play Timeline
behavior to an interactive or other event on your Web page. For example, a timeline is typically set to start
playing once a specific picture has loaded, or once the user has entered a value in a form??™s text box, or??”
more frequently??”once the user selects a Play button. You could use the Stop Timeline behavior to pause
an animation temporarily.
To use the Play Timeline or Stop Timeline behavior, follow these steps:
1. In the Document window, select a tag, link, or image that you want to trigger the event.
2. Choose Window ??? Behaviors or click the Show Behavior button on the Launcher to open the
Behaviors panel.
