Hi,

 They are executed top to bottom AND depending on wether they run every frame or not.

 So you could have the first action that does one thing, one time, and then other actions that runs every frame.

 Does that make sense?

 you have also now a option to run actions in sequences. Simply right click on the action stack and select "Action Sequence", and then each action will execute one after the other, ONLY when each action has finished its job.

bye,

If I understand well, if I don't choose the action sequence , the actions starts one after another without waiting.

This should help:

There's a new option called Action Sequence in the State settings menu. If you select this option each action must finish before the next will run.
