Some of the
choices available
for this target
Your choices for actions depend on the object you’re targeting. These can
include:
• Object. Includes options for hiding, showing, or otherwise arranging the
target in relation to other objects; adding a delay between the trigger event
and a subsequent action; loading different images to use for a picture, say to
show a highlighted button when a site visitor mouses over it. For examples,
see “Creating a Button Rollover” on page 550 and “Sequencing Actions for
a Slide Show” on page 555.
• Transition, Motion. Redraws the object in any of several ways, or causes it to
move in some way across, on, or off the page.
• Drag. Makes an object stick to the pointer so site visitors can drag it around
the page. One action might make the object stick on mouse down, while
another lets the object go on mouse up. For an example, see “Colliding One
Object with Another” on page 552.
• Get Property, Set Property. These actions are typically used as components of
scripted actions or parameter values, in particular when working with values
entered in forms. For an example, see “Customizing Default Actions” on
page 559.
