The xUML Action Language is case sensitive. Every statement must end with a semicolon. Operations, functions, and macros of the action language are highlighted (see Highlighting in the Action Script Editor for details).


To open the Action Script Editor, click icon in the quick action menu of the corresponding action script operation.

The editor will open in a new tab and you can start entering your action script.

To create an action script statement, for instance a  create assignment statement, start by typing the create keyword.

All available statements matching your input are listed.

Add a semicolon to finish the statement.

You can also select one of the listed statements to use it.

The statement is transferred to the editor.

Placeholders indicate where you need to adapt the statement.

For an easy editing, use the tab key to switch between placeholders.

The Toolbar

The action script editor features a toolbar in the center top of the editor.
