Annotating actions

Adobe GoLive allows you to further customize the display of the Inspector to provide more information about the action to the end user. You can add static text, informational text, or an image with an associated URL right into your action layout grid. All of these items are selectable in the Actions Control Inspector pulldown menu.

Static Text Static text is used to label the entry fields or components added to the layout grid. They appear static and cannot be altered by the end user. In the previous example, the words height and width were created as static text. Static text appears in bold in the Inspector.

Info Text Info text is simply text you add to provide information about the action. You could add a comment such as, "This action generates a random image when added to a page." Info text appears non-bolded in the Inspector.

Copyright banner It is also possible to add an image to your layout and link it to a URL. This is useful if you'd like to add a company logo to get credit for creating the action and providing a link to your company website. To add an image just drag an image icon from the Palette onto your layout grid, select an image and attach a URL to it in the Inspector.
