Thanks for the guidelines Adam.

Re: feedback on existing actions

We are currently working on this for a future release. Recently I was assigned the task to document when/where actions work.

Here are a couple of rules to live by when adding actions

1) Do not use any actions that refer to embedded Objects in Project -> Initialize, Project -> Close, Project -> Destroy.
2) Most Object specific actions do not work well on Page -> initialize.

The actions that I am referring to are
AVI Object actions
Text button actions
Image Object actions
Edit Field actions
Text Box actions
ListBox actions
Flash Object actions
Media Player Object actions
Web Browser Object actions

Here is a list of events where all actions should work
Page -> Show
Page -> Close
Page -> Destroy
Mouse -> Over
Mouse -> Click
Mouse -> Leave
List Box On Selection Change
List Box On Double Click
All AVI, Flash, Web Browser Object events

I imagine that there will be a KB article on this in the near future.

Is there a way for AMS to show what actions were designed for what object/event?
After awhile, and a lot of actions, it is hard to remember which event of which object triggers which action.
If this feature doesn't exist, I would warmly recommend to include it.
