The motion of domain walls in thin garnet films was investigated numerically using Slonczewski's equations of wall motion for the case of periodic drive field. The type of the wall motion was analyzed by observation of phase trajectories and spatio-temporal diagrams. It was found that depending on the period and amplitude of the drive field the motion of the wall is periodic or chaotic, reflecting the character of the dynamical processes connected with horizontal Bloch lines in the wall.
