Text=Action scripts are NeoBook's bread and butter. With them you control the|behavior and flow of the publication. In addition to buttons, actions can be|attached to individual pages and a special action even exists that can be|programmed to start after a period of inactivity. An action script on your|publication's first page can be used to create a self running demo or slide|show.||Action scripts can display messages, turn pages, ask questions, perform|calculations, play music, videos and cartoons. This may sound like some-|thing best left to programmers, but NeoBook makes building complex|actions simple.||After you use the Button Tool from the floating Tool Palette to draw|a button on your publication, a dialog box will appear allowing you to specify|how your button should look and behave.
Text=Here you can enter a title; choose between check box, radio, text entry or|push button styles; and specify what happens when someone clicks this|button. The tabs at the top of this dialog box switch between the different|options. The "Button Action" tab is where you'll find an area for action|commands. After you become familiar with the different commands you|may want to enter them manually in the editing area, but for now you can|simply choose the command you want by clicking here.
Text=Remember those variables we discussed earlier? Well one of the sad things|about variables is that they disappears when your publication is closed.||Fortunately, NeoBook has a nifty set of Actions that let you save those var-|iables, or just about any other kind of text or data, to a file. Next time your|publication runs it's just as easy to load those variables again.||Saving variables to a text file allows you to:||ò Permanently store information about your readers.|ò Create Computer Based Training (CBT) applications with scoring.|ò Create bookmarks for large publications.|ò Remember program status and variables between sessions.|ò Include data files needed for complex publications.|ò And much more....
Text=The Internet is fast becoming the place to be in the fast paced, information|starved 90's. The Internet is a great place to distribute your NeoBook pub-|lications, but NeoBook can work with the Internet in other ways too.||The InternetLink command makes any NeoBook publication your launchpad|to the world wide web. Just supply a web address and NeoBook launches|your reader's browser and makes the connection.
