Freeway Reference: Working with Actions
216
216
What are Freeway Actions?
Freeway Pro and Express come with a set of Actions which you can use to add functionality and dynamic effects to web pages.
This chapter gives information on the use of the “standard” Actions that ship pre-installed with Freeway. Information on the use of
custom Actions should be sought from the developer, or may be available on the Softpress KnowledgeBase.
They are comparable to plug-in modules, allowing you to do some remarkable things, which would require sophisticated programming
on your part in other programs. Actions can be as simple as making an image change color when a visitor runs their mouse over it, or as
complex as controlling forms, browser windows and multiple images, or for such tasks as creating navigation systems, processing graphics,
or creating an on-line shop.
Freeway Pro allows you to add further Actions which enhance the functionality of your web pages. Freeway Express allows you to add
new Actions that are encoded. You can download custom Actions from the the websites of Action authors (such as ActionsWorld.com
or FreewayActions.com), or you can download many others from ActionsForge.com which is the main place to look for after-market
Freeway Actions.
You can also create your own Actions following the guide to developing Actions, which is also available from the KnowledgeBase. At the
end of this section we have listed some Actions developers’ web sites where you can find other useful Actions.
It’s also helpful to subscribe to the FreewayTalk web forum (
http://www.freewaytalk.net/) for active discussions about the many
aspects of using Freeway and a wealth of tips on using Actions from the Freeway community.
How to use Freeway Actions
All core Actions which ship with the application have their own KnowledgeBase article which tells you how to apply them and what
options are available. Go to http://www.softpress.com/kb/ and search for the Action by name.
Installing extra Actions
FW Pro only
Actions can be installed by dropping them directly onto the Freeway application icon, either in the Dock or in the Finder. You can also
install Actions through the Edit Actions dialog (see The Edit Actions dialog below). You can use newly installed Actions immediately—
you don’t even need to restart Freeway when you add them.
In Freeway Pro, custom Actions are stored in
~username/Library/Application Support/Freeway Pro/Actions
You should ensure that the Action has a .fwaction extension prior to installation. Other extensions, such as .act3 used for Freeway 3
Actions, will also work.
Managing Actions
Action Files
Freeway Actions which ship with Freeway Pro and Express are stored in text files within the Freeway application bundle. Third party
Actions are installed in the Application Support folder, in the user’s Library folder (see Installing extra Actions on page 216 for more
information).
The Edit Actions dialog
The Edit Actions dialog can be accessed from the Edit menu
by choosing Actions…. The Edit Actions dialog allows you to
switch individual Actions or sets of Actions on and off.
There are 5 columns in the Edit Actions dialog:
On/Off: Allows you to disable an Action so that it will no longer
appear in the Freeway interface.
Name: Shows the names of the Freeway Actions and the files
and folders which contain them.
Type: Denotes the type of Action: Object (Free-standing), Page,
Folder, or Item.
Used: Tells you how many times an Action has been used in the
current Freeway document.
Date Modified: Tells you the date of the last modification to a
particular Freeway Action file. This can help you to ensure
that you have the latest version of a particular Action.
