Freeze an behavior

Question

Can I freeze an behavior in the middle for a while ?
Fox example, scroll text, freeze it to make the final paragraph stopped on the screen.
Many thx

Answer 1

Yes.
this can be done simply by using the Scroll text Behavior
with Speed Control set to 'fixed'
and using duplicates of the behavior for each time you
would like the text to begin moving again
(the first behavior would have 'start off screen' checked and the rest would not.)
you should be able to work it out by taking a look at this .motn file I've
thrown together as an example: http://files.me.com/lucidmotion/tdb07d
This is one way to do it.
you could also use a move behavior with a custom parameter controlling
the starts and stops with keyframes and you could tweak the curves of these
keyframes if you wanted more control over the ease in and out when the text starts and stops.
Hope I have explained some options clearly enough, I'm sure others can possibly
explain better if you are still stuck.
