Explanation

This explains the functional steps within the sequence. For all the other XML details please refer to Formats and syntax

Set Times

Menu.InjectInput(“OnSelect”,“AttributeGroup”,“NoGroup”,2) selects the attribute on the wheels (1=Intensity, 2=Position, 4=Colour, 8=Gobo, 16=Beam, 32=Effects, 64=Special, 128=Shapes)
<menuLink id=“Windows.Positions” stack=“mainWindowStack” behaviour=“PushOrRaise” maximised=“True” regionId=“secondary” /> opens the positions palette window
Windows.SetWindowProperty is used to define position and size of the palette window
ActionScript.SetProperty.x() is used to set other window properties
