TIP 189: Copying and Pasting Actions

GoLive Actions are powerful, pre-built JavaScript functions that make it easy to create interesting, useful, and interactive effects in your Web pages. With GoLive you can copy and paste Actions from one link to another or from one event to another. For example, if you accidentally create an Action for the wrong event, just cut and paste the Action to the correct event. Also, if you create a sequence of complicated Actions, you can copy and paste all those Actions from one link to another!

Remembering Recently Used Actions

Ever notice that you seem to use a handful of Actions more than others? GoLive helpfully adds the six most recently used Actions to the top of the Action pull-down menu in the Actions palette to make it easy to access those popular Actions.

To copy or cut an Action, select it in the Actions list (on the right side of the Actions palette) and then choose Edit > Copy or Edit > Cut. To paste the Action and all of its settings onto a new link, select the link and then in the Actions palette select an event from the list on the left. Now put your cursor into the Actions list and choose Edit > Paste (Figure 189).
