Hi Max,
There are two ways to do what you want.
In ‘classic’ (non-JavaScript) actions you can use internal references
to the value of other controls.
For example;
<action name="Acrobat" title="Link to PDF" preview-text="PDF &Name;"
height=12>
<action-text name="Name" default="Download" required />
Here we can see the value provided by the ‘Name’ parameter is echoed
to the preview text of the main action tag.
These still work in JavaScript actions but I doubt the replacement
will work in your markup block.
The best solution to this is to use token replacement in your action
to replace markers for the user defined values.
For example;
var theMarkup = fwMarkups["myMarkup"].toString();
theMarkup = theMarkup.replace(/__color1__/g,
fwParameters["color1"].fwValue.fwHex);
theMarkup = theMarkup.replace(/__color2__/g,
fwParameters["color2"].fwValue.fwHex;
etc.
Your markup would look like this;
<action-markup custom name="myMarkup">
some code __color1__ some code
some more code __color2__ some more code
</action-markup>
You can then output the markup to the document, write it to an
external file or do what you need to do with it.
The benefit of this technique over the classic method is that you can
check that the values you need are all present and correct. For
example if you wanted the user to select a color and they chose ‘none’
then you could either stop the publish with an error (maybe a little
harsh) or better still substitute your own, default, color into the
output.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Tim.

Morning all
just a question about action-markup
Am I able to add some adjustment to the code within the action-
markup chunk of code from the action palette?
here is what I am doing:
<action-color name="color1">
<action-markup custom name="myMarkup">
some code #999999 some code
</action-markup>
I am sure I can… but I just cant remember how it was done…
for some reason I thought it was something like:
<action-color name="color1">
<action-markup custom name="myMarkup">
some code #&color1; some code
</action-markup>
but alas nope that’s not it and the poor brain cells are maximum
capacity… so I cant even find it in the tech-notes or manuals… :o(
Can any one remember the correct way to do it?
cheers max
