When are parameters parsed?

Are parameters parsed before the action script executes? I am using some code that I have tested in the fixlet debugger, but the action fails claiming there is a syntax error. The file that the parameter is being read from is actually created during the action, so if the parameters are parsed prior to execution, that would explain why my script isn’t working. Is this the case? Thanks.

Are the parameters used in an if statement?

If so they will be evaluated prior to running the action in order to support conditional downloads. You can guard your expression as follows:

if {not active of action OR }
