Creating objects for the Panorama (xdt3) Desktop

Installing action definitions

Scripts that define actions for the object are displayed in the first two full-length fields on the Object Builder window. You can define two types of action sequences for the object:

You can define the actions to associate with the object in one of four ways: When you drop a non-executable, non-directory file icon on the Object Builder window, the Object Builder assumes it contains a script of action definitions.

If you drop an action script, existing object, or an executable on the Object Builder window, you must first specify the action sequence that you are defining: Activate, Alt_Activate, Drop, or Alt_Drop. Make your choice using the toggle buttons above the ``Trigger Action'' fields.

When you drop an object's icon on the Object Builder window, you are prompted to specify which component(s) to load. You can choose to load the picture only, the actions only, or both.
