Type, this option lets you choose the object that will appear where you drop the component. The three choices are:
Image, if you want to have a graphic.
Text, if you want to have a normal text link.
Invisible, if you don't want a graphic or text link. This
has many uses because alot of the Window Events can
occur when the page gets loaded, when it gets
minimized, etc.
Link, is where you specify what page you want to use with the Actions that redirect to another page.
Window Event, is the event that will trigger the action to take place on the page. Below is a table of all Events:
| Event |
Action is Triggered: |
| Opened |
When the page loads. Aka 'onLoad'. |
| Closed |
When the page is closed, or left to go to a new URL. |
| Activated |
When the window is highlighted and in the front of other window. Aka 'onFocus'. |
| Deactivated |
When the window is minimized, or not on top of other windows. |
| Click |
When the Image or Link is Clicked. This won't work in Invisible mode because you won't have anything to click! |
| MouseOver |
When the mouse is moved over the Image or Link. (No Invisible.) |
| MouseOut |
When the mouse is moved out of the Image or Link. (No Invisible.) |
Action, is where you choose what happens when the Event is triggered. In the table below, the Pop-up category refers to whether the component must be dropped on a Pop-up window for this to be used. Note: A parent window is the window that opened the Pop-up window.
| Action |
Description |
Must be pop-up |
| Parent Goto Link |
Sends the parent window to a location specified by Link. This is great for a floating pop-up menu! |
Yes |
| Goto Link |
Sends the window to the URL specified in Link. |
No |
| Close Window |
Closes the window. |
No |
| Close Parent |
Closes the Parent window. |
Yes |
| Change Background Color |
Changes the Background Color instantly to Color specified. Use this with Deactivate to gray out the window when not in the front! |
No |
| Parent Background Color |
Does the same as above but with the Parent window. |
Yes |
| None |
None |
No |
Color (only seen when background color is selected) Lets you specify the color to change the background to. The very last choice 'Custom…' lets you specify the Hex Color Code, thereby giving you the choice of every color.
Window Order, is somewhat related to Activate and Deactivate, but it actually does them as actions. They are triggered with the Event, just like the Actions. The choices are:
Keep on Top, which forces the window to the top of
the other windows. Useful for floating menus and
banners. Warning: it is dangerous to use the window
ordering with Activate and Deactivate because it
is possible to get infinite loops. For example, using
Deactivate with Keep on Top is okay until you have
two windows open on the page and they fight it out
to keep on top!!
Move to Back, puts the window to the back of the
other windows.
None, does no window order.
