User Guide
Type the name of the form that contains the text field, and the name of the text field to validate. Select a validation
criterion from the Validation to Perform pop-up menu. If you choose the Field Has This Many Characters option,
define a numerical value in the # Of Characters text box. If you choose the Field = Exact Text String option, type the
text viewers must enter in the field in the Exact Text String text box.
Type an alert message to display if the field entry is not valid.
Note: If there are adjacent fields with Field Validator actions assigned to Key Blur events, separate the fields with a field
that doesn't have a Key Blur event. Or separate the fields with a label, and assign a tabbing order to the field and labels.
(A label must contain at least one character, but you can make it appear blank by entering a space character.)
Get Layer Position
The Get Layer Position action reads the current position of a layer. You can process this information using, for
example, an Idle action that moves a second layer to the current position of that layer. This creates the impression
that the second object trails the first.
Trigger the action with a browser-triggered event set to OnCall in the head section of the page. In the Actions palette,
choose Action > Getters > Get Layer Pos. Select OnCall from the Events list and give the action a unique alphanu­
meric name.
Set up a timeline-triggered action to retrieve the layer coordinates from the Get Layer Position action. Some actions
you can consider using include Move By and Move To. Either of these actions can be used alone or in combination
with a Condition or Idle action. When setting up a Move By or Move To action, click the red "C" icon adjacent
to the Position property twice until it changes to a green question mark icon , and choose the Get Layer Position
action name from the menu.

Get Form Value
The Get Form Value action reads the content of a form text, text area, or password field in the current page. This
action depends on input from the viewer in the form text field.
Trigger the action with a browser-triggered event set to OnUnload (or OnCall if you attach it to a form image that
serves as a Submit button). In the Actions palette, choose Action > Getters > Get Form Value. Enter the name of the
form in the Form text box and the name of text field in the Element text box.
If your form contains more fields you want to have read, insert more Get Form Value actions and set them up as
required. Set up companion actions that process the result—for example, a Set Cookie action that stores the contents
of various Get Form Value actions on the viewer's hard disk.
