Secure action buttons OnReceiveDrag and mounts

C_MountJournal spellID summonmount creatureName index index 1 48778 Acherus Deathcharger 2 60025 268 Albino Drake

Where did you get the summonmount data? I'd like to make a function that accepts the id returned by GetActionInfo() using that index.
thanks.

That number is from GetCursorInfo if the mount is on the cursor. So, you actually have to pick up the mount to get it.
It's the same number that is passed to a secure button on OnReceiveDrag.

Thanks for the quick answer. I guess I'll have to hard code the table. I have an addon that I wrote/use myself to load the action bar buttons. I need a way to tell which item/mount/spell/etc is in an action slot without picking up anything and putting on the cursor.

If you're using type/action (like with the standard bars) this problem should not apply to you.
With type/action you can get/set the attribute action/summonmount and use GetActionInfo to query the number.

Here is what I'm doing (short description):
For each class I play, I have a list of the names of spells, mounts, items, etc that go into each action slot.
Example: actions = {'Kill Command', 'Arcane Shot', 'Swift Zhevra'}
In my addon, I look at what is already in blizzard action bar slot to determine if I need to replace it. If I have to pickup the object from the action slot it makes a lot of noise and is slow.
When I use GetActionInfo(3) .... This is the blizzard slot 3 not the one from my actions table,
I need to get from the number it returns 224 to the name of the mount.
Hope that makes sense.
This was working until the last patch. It still works for spells, items, macros.

I wanted an addon that just had names not spell id's, etc.
