This action event can be used to popup a file requester prompting the user to select a file which will then be opened in a manner similar to the Run program action event. Optionally, the user's selection can also be remembered so that the next time the action event is executed, the selected file will be opened automatically. See User settings for details.
If you tick the "Make a local copy of the chosen file" checkbox, Hollywood Designer will make a copy of the file selected by the user inside the "UserFiles" directory in the project's directory.
Note that you need to assign a unique identifier to every "Choose file to open" action event. The location of the file where Hollywood Designer will store the user's selection can be changed in the project properties dialog. See Project properties dialog for details.
To run a file previously selected by this action event, you can use the Run choose file to open action event. See Run choose file to open for details.
To reset the user's selection, you can use the Reset choose file to open action event. See Reset choose file to open for details.
