You can include animations and other interesting effects in your site by adding actions to individual objects or pages. You can make objects move on, off, and around the screen, hide or show them, bump them with other objects, have them exchange places, and so on. Site visitors can drag them around the page. You can even have actions respond to a site visitor’s entry in a form. No programming is required. You build actions by simply choosing a series of options from menus.
When you use actions, note that:
Due to limitations of Internet Explorer and other browsers, actions work only in versions 4.0 and later of Internet.
You can use actions on pages with AutoFrames; do not use actions on pages with frames that were scripted by adding HTML directly.
For reliable performance, make sure you select HTML 4.01 with Tables as the HTML output method on the Layout Properties panel. If your site visitors will only be using older browsers, select HTML 4.01.
