Freeway Reference: Working with Actions
217
217
Duplicate Actions
If you have two Actions of the same type with the same name, Freeway will disable the older version by default and will warn
you when you run or switch into Freeway. If you look in the Edit Actions dialog you will be able to find out which one has been
disabled. If you wish to use a different Action, you can disable the Action currently in use and enable the one that has been disabled.
Modifying Actions
Because Freeway Actions are contained in standard text files, this means that you could modify them according to your own needs.
Some of the Actions are very simple, but some are more complex and can interact with other Actions, so it’s probably a good idea not
to edit them unless you know what you are doing.
Freeway Express Actions are encoded, so it is not possible to edit them.
Writing Actions
FW Pro only
If you wish to write your own Actions, see the Softpress Knowledgebase at (http://www.softpress.com/kb/questions/153/). You might
also wish to share the Actions you write with other Freeway users. If you have some Actions that you would like to submit for inclusion
on the Actions web site, please contact Softpress Technical support at [email protected]—it is helpful if you can also provide full
documentation and examples for other Freeway users to follow.
Third Party Actions
If you find that the standard shipping Actions don’t quite fit your requirements, there are lots of third party Actions available. Here are
some URLs to find numerous free and paid-for Actions:

http://www.freewayactions.com
http://www.actionsworld.com

Actions in the Freeway interface
When Actions are applied to parts of a design in Freeway, there are various visual
cues which appear as you work.
Anatomy of the Actions palette
Title tab and close
button: clicking this
button removes the
Action. (Not all Actions
have this button.)
Add Action button.
Pressing this calls up
the Add Action dialog.
Action version number. Clicking
this shows an information panel
about the Action.
Note: This is a general overview of a typical graphics Action. There are slight variations
in the
Actions palette, depending on which Actions have been applied.
Types of Actions
There are four types of Freeway Action:
Item Actions: These are applied to existing items on your page. An example is a rollover: an image is swapped for another when the mouse
moves over it.
Page Actions: These are applied to the page itself. Examples are a background sound when the page is loaded or a timed redirect that
automatically sends the viewer to a new page after a defined period.
Folder Actions: These are applied to a folder in the Site Panel, or even the main “root” folder to which your site is published. A good example
of this is the Freeway Shop Action suite.
“Free-standing” Action Items
: Like other Freeway items, these are drawn on the page or inserted from the Insert menu. An example is a
popup list of countries, which can be added to a form.
