Attach behavior by script

Hi, how can i attach a behavior by script?
when u add it on the tgb it creates a line on the level file like:
_behavior0 = "MouseDraggableBehavior ";
but i need it to attach it dinamically like:
%animal = new t2dAnimatedSprite()
{
config = LionConfig;
scenegraph = %sg;
visible = %visible;
};
%animal.attachBehavior bla bla

Create one in a level and look at it in the level file. I believe it is just a list with key value pairs separated by tabs or some other whitespace.

You probably didnt read my post correctly, that was what i did, but i need it to attache by script dinamically. the solution James Ford provided seems correct but how do i setup the parameters for the behavior?.

I was referring to the offline html docs not the TDN. For looking up all methods/callbacks/fields of a class, I would recommend loading up the offline docs, expand Reference, and expand TGB reference.

%behavior = BehaviorTemplateName.createInstance(); %behavior.field1 = "value"; %animal.addBehavior(%behavior);

You can find these and other methods listed in the T2D reference section of the html docs. Listed under BehaviorTemplate, BehaviorInstance, BehaviorComponent (All sceneObjects are BehaviorComponents).
