public class CustomActions
extends Object

The methods of the CustomActions class allow a SWF file playing in the Flash authoring tool to manage any custom actions that are registered with the authoring tool. A SWF file can install and uninstall custom actions, retrieve the XML definition of a custom action, and retrieve the list of registered custom actions.

You can use these methods to build SWF files that are extensions of the Flash authoring tool. Such an extension could, for example, use the Flash Application Protocol to navigate a UDDI repository and download web services into the Actions toolbox.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6
