Action Tutorial?

I’m on the new side of website design, and not that clear on how to apply an action. Can anyone recommend a tutorial about this?

Also, could someone suggest which version of Freeway I should get if I want to have an action when a mouse clicks on a photo, that page dims and a frame stretches open first horizontally and then vertically in front of that page and a larger image of that photo appears?

Thanks,
Bob

There is is an action icon on your menu bar. click that and a action window will open. You can add and remove action to an individual item there. Look for the “+” and “-” buttons.

that was confusing for me too…

On your other question: No clue. I am new too.

The Freeway Showcase App. can do that for you, and that probably requires FWY Pro. You can see it on the site.

David,

you know a good sites for the ScriptyLightBox to see it in action?

I was reading the specs on it, and it seems really amazing for someone doing a lot of 3rd part media pulling.

And if you search on iTunes for Freeway Moments you will find various Tutorials.

Also DanJ has quite a few on his site, some free, some paid for.

I’ll check iTunes. I am still in here learning and picking it up, and looking at different items for solutions.

@BOB

as being new too; I just made a point of the manuals over in the “off Topic” area. Here is the link to the master manual.
http://www.softpress.com/support/freeway5referencemanual/

Almost all the questions you can think about are covered in there.

First I’d like to say a big “wow”! and “thank you” to everyone for responding and so quickly.

I’ve been putting in the hours trying to “make sure” about choosing the “right” web designer for me. Ya know, it’s like getting engaged, you want to make sure the software is the one for you that you want to wake up in the morning and see everyday;)

I was bouncing back from Rapidweaver to Express/Pro. But after these responses here, with DeltaDave providing quick links to illustrate the ScriptyLightBox, and thanks Shane for the location of manuals, I feel Freeway Pro is the right choice for me, and it comes with a supportive group of relatives (that would be this forum). So that fear or trepidation of jumping into something and finding out after days of work that I’m in over my head, has eased.

Hey, I’m not always so verbose. You just caught me at
a sensitive moment :wink:

So back to the real stuff.
With these actions like ScriptyLightBox, do I need to copy code, or after downloading it, it’s just clicking on it in Pro
and putting in the photos and time settings?

Also, I couldn’t find any freeway tutorials at itunes.

thanks,
bob

But which one is the over weight uncle who needs a shave, thinks a clean tee shirt is appropriate attire for a reception, and spends 90% of his time at the TV? :wink:

Pardon me, but I didn’t realize that my tee shirt had to
be a clean tee shirt ;–)

Bob,

to install any action, you can do one of 2 methods unless there is second instructions provided with the action:

  1. download it and drop the action file onto the freeway icon in the applications directory.

  2. have freeway open, and then try to open the downloaded action. It should try to install automatically.

Hi Shane,

I downloaded the ScriptyLightBox action and dropped it onto the freeway icon and the program opened, but didn’t see it listed.

I then imported it with Freeway open but still don’t see it either.

The Action will only appear when you have an HTML box selected on the
page, or in some design methods, a graphics box. Once you do, you’ll
see it in the Item / Actions list. If you don’t have anything selected
(that is to say, the page is actually selected) you won’t see anything
in that same list.
