3.Add actions to the script file by selecting an action from the Actions pane, and then dragging it into the right pane. Or, double-click the action, which automatically adds it to the right pane.

4.Add settings for each action. Some actions do not have any settings associated with them.

A red X indicates that an action setting is missing.

5.To modify the settings:

a.In the Script Actions pane, double-click the action you want to edit, or click the action, and then click Modify Values. The Set Element Values screen appears (refer to Figure 118).
