You can use Authorware system functions to do such things as manipulate text and files, control and respond to what's going on in navigation structures, play and synchronize media, draw objects and manipulate graphics, jump between files, launch other applications, and perform mathematical functions.
Some functions that complement each other, such as ArraySet and ArrayGet, come in sets. Some functions work in tandem with variables, such as the ReadExtFile function and the system variable FileLocation. You can use functions such as IconNext and Keywords to get information; others such as CreateFolder, DeleteLine, and Quit to carry out tasks; and others such as Random and Round to perform operations.
System functions in Authorware follow certain naming conventions: They always begin with an uppercase letter and consist of one or more words with no spaces (for example, Beep and VideoSpeed).
Each system function is described in detail in System Functions.
