About Action triggers
All actions need an event to trigger them. In the TimeLine Editor, actions are triggered automatically depending on their position relative to the time track. You specify other action triggers in the Action Inspector or the Actions palette.
In the Actions palette, six mouse events and two key events are available:
Mouse Click triggers an action after a single mouse click on a rollover button, linked image, text, or form element.Mouse Enter triggers an action when the mouse pointer is moved over a rollover button, linked image, text, or form element.Mouse Exit triggers an action when the mouse pointer is moved away from a rollover button, linked image, text, or form element.Double Click triggers an action when the viewer double-clicks a rollover button, linked image, text, or form element.Mouse Down triggers an action when the viewer presses the mouse button while the pointer is on a rollover button, linked image, text, or form element.Mouse Up triggers an action when the viewer releases the mouse button while the pointer is on a rollover button, linked image, text, or form element.Key down and Key Press trigger an action when the viewer presses any key.Key up triggers an action when the viewer releases any key.
The head section of the page provides additional options for triggering actions. The Exec. pop-up menu in the Action Inspector lets you specify when and how an action in the head section executes.
The Exec pop-up menu offers the following options:
OnLoad (default) triggers the action after the browser has loaded the page. This is the default behavior implemented in previous versions of Adobe GoLive.OnUnload triggers the action when the browser leaves the page. OnParse triggers the action when the browser reads that part of the document header (slightly earlier than OnLoad).OnCall calls the action later in the browser session by using the Call Action action (see Call Action). When you create an OnCall action, Adobe GoLive assigns a default name (for example: B289B5EE0) that appears in the Name text box next to the pop-up menu. You can overwrite this name with a description that is easier to retrieve. The name you enter here must be unique; that is, it must not be used by any other variable or action in the page.
