Syntax:

Example 1: basic start action method

!important: you must take care when using this method that you don't have multiple instances of actions with the same name otherwise it will not work correctly!

-- full get action method; !recommended
startAction("Scenes[scene_name].SceneObjects[object_name].SceneActions[action_name]")
