# Using multiple flows

You can create multiple flows within a single AFX graph, with each flow initiated by a different type of event. For example, if you wanted to calculate a translation vector when the graph first executes, and then apply it to an object each frame, you could use an arrangement similar to that shown in the following image.

The `Translate` node is activated in each update phase of the scripting lifecycle. However, the `Set Vector 3` node will be activated once in the start phase of the scripting lifecycle.
