[String] is the name of the widget. Different widget targets can be called
[Constant] the event to listen on

Examples

Consider the following code snippet: 1 <Widget setShape="5,10,170,84" setBackground="4d99e5" setName="button"> 2 <Button setAnchor="true,true,false,false" setName="button.plus" setOpaque="false" 3 setShape="150,0,20,18" setFocusTraversable="false" setBorder="none" setVisible="true" 4 addActionTarget="button.minus,mousepressed,setVisible='true',button.plus,mousepressed,setVisible='false', 5 button,action,setMotionScript='scriptdown',button.plus,action,setLabel='&#43'"/> 6 </Widget> In the lines 4-5 multiple actions ('mousepressed' and 'action') and multiple targets(button.plus and button) are used. The actions are separated with a comma. The action that sets the button's label to encoded character '+' is used.
