  - 97. The hardware-implemented method of claim 87, further comprising:
    - applying a line style by forming a second graphical image from a boundary of the graphical image; and
      
      applying a fill style to the second graphical image to generate pixel data for the line style.
  - 98. The hardware-implemented method of claim 87, further comprising:
    - generating pixel data for hypertext markup language (“
      
      HTML”
      
      ) or extensible markup language (“
      
      XML”
      
      ) data.
  - 99. The hardware-implemented method of claim 98, further comprising:
    - merging the pixel data for the graphical image with pixel data for the hypertext markup language (“
      
      HTML”
      
      ) or extensible markup language (“
      
      XML”
      
      ) data.

100. A system for processing an action script for visual display of a graphical image, the system comprising:
- a network input and output interface configured to receive a data file;
  
  a user input and output interface;
  
  a first memory;
  
  a frame buffer to store the pixel data;
  
  first circuitry to separate the action script from other data;
  
  second circuitry to parse the action script into the plurality of descriptive elements and corresponding data and to store the corresponding data in the first memory as a plurality of control words having the corresponding data in predetermined fields;
  
  third circuitry to convert a plurality of descriptive elements of the action script into a plurality of hardware operational codes;
  
  fourth circuitry to perform an operation corresponding to an operational code of the plurality of hardware operational codes using the corresponding data stored in the first memory to generate first pixel data for the graphical image and to transfer the first pixel data to the frame buffer; and
  
  fifth circuitry configured to generate second pixel data for hypertext markup language (“
  
  HTML”
  
  ) or extensible markup language (“
  
  XML”
  
  ) data of the data file and to transfer the second pixel data to the frame buffer.
