Creating a Behavior
Behavior API
You??™ve seen most of the behavior API functions applied in a previous section, ???Step 2: Create the action file.???
You use the behavior API to create behaviors. Its primary functions are shown in Table 2-3:
TABLE 2-3
Behavior API Primary Functions
Function Role

windowDimensions() Sets the width and height of the parameter form dialog box; only define
this function if you are creating a Parameters dialog box larger than 640
?— 480 pixels
applyBehavior() Attaches the behavior function to the selected tag
inspectBehavior() Restores user-selected values to the parameter form for re-editing
behaviorFunction() Writes a function within tags in the
of the HTML file
deleteBehavior() Removes a behavior from the HTML file
identifyBehaviorArguments() Notes the behavior arguments that need to be altered if the file is moved
