The 'Actions' Panel contains all the Events and Actions for the currently selected Scene or object.

When you select an Event or Action in the 'Event/Action' tree, the adjacent area shows the properties of the selected Action or Event. In the picture above, the bottom section of the Panel shows the properties of the currently selected Goto Frame Action.
Add Event/Action
This button adds a new Event or Action. Depending on what you have selected in the 'Event/Action' tree, you can add either an Event or an Action at any stage. The button automatically changes its label and behavior accordingly.
When the 'Event/Action' tree is empty, or if you have selected an existing Event that already has Actions, then the Panel will provide the 'Add Event' button. Click on the button will reveal a Menu of available Events.
For a Scene, then menu looks like this:

For an object, the menu looks like this:

Select one to add a new Event to the Scene or object.
If you select an Event that does not yet have any Actions, or if you select an existing Action, the Panel will provide the 'Add Action' button. If you click on the button, you will see a Menu of available Actions.
Select one to add a new Action to the current Event, or as a child of a Tell Target or If Frame Loaded Action.
Delete Event/Action
You can delete Events and Actions by selecting them in the 'Event/Action' tree and then clicking on the 'Delete' button. If you delete an Event, its associated Actions will also be deleted. Similarly, if you delete a Tell Target or If Frame Loaded Action, its child Actions will also be deleted.
Up/Down
You can change the order of Events and Actions using the 'Up' and 'Down' arrow buttons. However, changing Event order has little practical use.
Event/Action tree
This shows the Events and Actions for the currently selected Scene or object. Events are shown at the root of the tree, and Actions are shown as children of Events. The Tell Target and If Frame Loaded Actions can also have child Actions.
Current Event/Action label bar
This bar show the currently selected Event or Action. The properties of the Event or Action appear below this bar.
