```
    Internal method used to delegate the call to the newTXPNode(VSActionTXProcess, VSAction, AbstractSettings).
    Do not override or implement this method.
    Parameters:
    actionProcess - The action process.
    action - The VirtualSpace Action instance that initiates the actor.
    settings - The settings for the action actor implementation.
    Returns:
    A new TXP node implementation ready to be added to a TXP process.
    Throws:
    java.lang.ClassNotFoundException - If the Action Actor class is not found.
    ActionActorException - If a new node could not be created.
  - newTXPNode

```
    Creates a new TXP Node instance to be used for a TXP process.
    Parameters:
    actionProcess - The action process.
    action - The VirtualSpace Action instance that initiates the actor.
    settings - The settings for the action actor implementation.
    Returns:
    A new TXP node implementation ready to be added to a TXP process.
    Throws:
    java.lang.ClassNotFoundException - If the Action Actor class is not found.
    ActionActorException - If a new node could not be created.
  - getDefaultDescription
```
java.lang.String getDefaultDescription()
```
    Gets the default description of the Action Actor to be used for the Designer or logging.
    Returns:
    A short description.
  - getDescription
```
java.lang.String getDescription()
```
    Gets a description of the Action Actor to be used for the Designer or logging.
    Returns:
    A short description.
  - getEnabledState
```
java.lang.String getEnabledState(IAppSessionGyro appGyro,
                                 VSAction action)
```
    Checks if the runnable is enabled for the current VirtualSpace. This method is checked to see if the action is enabled and also in the Designer.
    Parameters:
    appGyro - The application session gyro instance.
    action - The action calling the action actor.
    Returns:
    null If enabled, otherwise an message why it's not enabled.
  - doesModifyVirtualSpace
```
boolean doesModifyVirtualSpace()
```
    Checks if the VirtualSpace is modified by the Action Actor.
    Returns:
    true if any component in the VS is modified (excludes focus).
