Parameter types for Adobe GoLive 4.0 and later

GLActionGroupParam

GLActionConditionParam

For the OpenAlertWindow.action example, the <csactionparam> item enables the text string input by the user into the message window to be read by the JavaScript code. There are two attributes of the <csactionparam> tag.

NAME: Parameter name. This name can be arbitrarily chosen but must exactly match the parameter name of the associated field in the layout box. In this example the value is "msg," and the name of the box in the layout grid is also "msg." These two values must be identical.

TYPE: Type of parameter. The Parameter Types are predefined values which allow you to add common elements such as pulldown menus, check boxes, text entry fields, etc. to the dialog box. There are a number of parameter types which you can use.
