Actions are easy to install. First make sure you're using GoLive version 4 or later. *

* Or CyberStudio 3.x, if you're sure the Actions work with CyberStudio. You can assume that all the Actions on this page do indeed work with CyberStudio, unless the description says "Requires GoLive 4 or later".

To decode the appropriate files, Mac users should use StuffIt Expander. PC users, you should use WinZip. Get those utilities at the URLs below if you need them.

StuffIt Expander (Mac):

WinZip (Windows):

Next, you just drag the Action files into the GoLive Actions folder, which is inside the JScripts folder, inside the Modules folder. You can find the Modules folder in your main GoLive folder, beside the GoLive application itself.

Lastly, quit GoLive if it's running, and then relaunch it.

Your new Actions will now be available in GoLive. See your GoLive manual for instructions on how to use Actions.

You can download each Action by clicking either the Mac icon () or the Windows icon ().

The Actions are compressed for Mac as StuffIt 5.x archives (then further encoded as BinHex files), and for PC as Zip archives. See the Installation section above for details on how to decode them.

If you're having problems downloading, read the Information section on the main Products page.

 

 Page Fade Action
(Netscape 3+, IE 4+)

Download:  

• Use as a Head Action from the Smart tab of the palette (in GoLive 4 and earlier, a Head
Action was called an Action Headitem and was in the CyberObjects tab of the palette).
• Set to run OnParse (for fade-in) or OnUnload (for fade-out)
• Requires GoLive 4 or later.

Creates a "fade-in" or "fade-out" effect by changing the background color of a page gradually between two chosen colors. You choose the start color, the end color, and the number of steps in the fade (1-255). You use the Action in an Action Headitem, and you can choose to run it on OnParse for fade-in or OnUnload for fade-out. You can also add two Action Headitems to have the page fade in and then out.

Notes:
• The fades will be faster in Netscape than in Explorer.
• For the best visual effect, you should set your page's background color to the same as the end color of a fade-in.

 

 CSS Write Action
(Netscape 4+, IE 4+)

Note: For a more powerful multiple-stylesheet Action, try CSS Write Pro.

Download:  

• Use as a Head Action from the Smart tab of the palette, set to run OnParse (in GoLive 4 and earlier, a Head Action was called an Action Headitem and was in the CyberObjects tab of the palette).
• Requires GoLive 4 or later.

Lets you choose six different external stylesheets:

• Netscape 4 or later, Mac
• Netscape 4 or later, PC
• Explorer 4.x, Mac
• Explorer 5 or later, Mac
• Explorer 4 or later, PC
• Optionally, a stylesheet for any other browser/platform not explicitly detected

This Action will use the appropriate stylesheet depending on what browser/platform the visitor is using. Stylesheets will only be used if the browser version is 4 or later.

 

 Hourly Message Action
(Netscape 3+, IE 4+)

Download:  

• Use as a Body Action from the Smart tab of the palette (in GoLive 4 and earlier, a Body Action was called an Inline Action and was in the CyberObjects tab of the palette).
• Requires GoLive 4 or later.

Writes a different message onto the page each hour of the day.
You choose the 24 messages, whether to make the text bold and/or italic, whether to link the message and where to link it to, and whether to show a readout of the time the page was accessed.

 Third Voice Redirect Action
(Netscape 3+, IE 3+)

Download:  

• Use as a Body Action from the Smart tab of the palette (in GoLive 4 and earlier, a Body Action was called an Inline Action and was in the CyberObjects tab of the palette).
• Requires GoLive 4 or later.
• If you use CyberStudio 3.x, download this file (Mac) or this file (Win) instead. Open it with CyberStudio and read the instructions.

Redirects Third Voice users to a page/URL of your choice. Doesn't affect Mac or Unix users, or Windows Netscape users. Note: this action has not been tested. Please report any bugs.

 Third Voice Hide Action
(Netscape 3+, IE 3+)

Download:  

• Use as a Head Action from the Smart tab of the palette (in GoLive 4 and earlier, a Head Action was called an Action Headitem and was in the CyberObjects tab of the palette).

Stops any Third Voice notes being displayed. The action doesn't prevent TV notes being added, but it will make it difficult for TV users to view any existing notes. Note that the script only runs if the page is being viewed with IE 4.x on Windows, since that's currently the only platform which TV is available for (at time of writing). Note: this action has not been tested, and the script was written by Jeremy Bowers. Please report any bugs.
