About RealPlayer actions
The RealPlayer menu in the Actions palette lists actions you can use to control the playback of presentations in
RealPlayer documents or Real Media in the RealPlayer plug-in. In addition, you can retrieve information about the
RealPlayer that a viewer is using or about the clips that are playing.
Except for the Embedded Actions action (which appear in the browser itself ), you set up RealPlayer actions in the
web page that appears in the Browser Pane frame or the Info Pane frame of your RealPlayer document. Trigger the
event with a user, timeline, or browser-triggered action, and then choose an action from the Action > RealPlayer
menu.
For more information, see the RealOne Player Scripting Guide available on the RealNetworks website at
http://service.real.com/help/library/encoders.html.
For more information about creating RealPlayer documents in GoLive, see “About the RealPlayer Editor” on
page 513.
