The Actions Tab

The Actions tab shows up in several places throughout AutoPlay Media Studio. Anything with events will have an Actions tab on its Properties dialog where you can work on the action lists that correspond to the events.

For example, the Actions tab of the Page Properties dialog is where you would edit the action lists for the current page's "On Initialize", "On Show", "On Close", and "On Destroy" events.

The Actions tab of the Page Properties dialog

Each action tab is made up of three parts: the list of available actions, the event selector, and the action list.

Available Actions

A list of all the actions you can use, organized into categories.

Event Selector

A drop-down selector you can use to select the event that you want to add actions to. When you choose an event in the Event Selector, that event's action list is automatically shown below.

Action List

The "canvas" where you can create and edit the list of actions that are assigned to the currently selected event.
